Celebrity Meghan Markle / Rachel Meghan Markle / Meghan, Duchess of Sussex / Meghan Sussex / The Alliterate One - Markle Snarkle

I'm still laughing about Harry cornering Bob Iger, "You know she does voiceovers, right?"
"Oh, really? I did not know that."
*visibly turns to try and talk to someone else*

Harry really strikes me more, day by day, as someone who would struggle to hold down a job at an Amazon warehouse if he had been born into literally any other family.

He's so retarded that part of me wants to pity him, but he's also such a mewling fucking big girl's blouse that another (much louder) part of me tells the first one to STFU and bully him instead.

I think it's just eldest-child identification with William. I don't GAF about the royals as an institution, but I know how responsible eldest kids sometimes feel for their younger siblings, especially when something emotionally devastating happens. My impression is that William genuinely cares about his little brother and has likely been pseudo-parenting him most of their lives, but now is absolutely done with him. He tried to warn him about this obvious, money- and attention-grubbing semen sponge that most of us can clock from a solid mile away, and got a 'tarded manbaby tantrum in response. I can only imagine the shit that must have happened behind the scenes for him to reach that point with Harry, after emotionally nursing him through the loss of (both of) their mother. A mother Harry is now flogging embarrassing stories about in his cringey fucking ghostwritten hagiographies of himself, while he deals with the fallout of (both of) his father's cancer and that of his clearly beloved wife. I don't think you need to be a monarchist to feel for what the guy's been through lately. Though I dunno, maybe he's a huge arsehole behind the scenes too? I'd still wager Harry's the bigger one by a country mile.

Ugh. I don't know any of these people from Adam, but I know if I was in William's position I'd have gone scorched earth with them both, ASAP.
 
Anybody else think Meghan gives off massive “peaked in high school” energy? I swear all these moves are only because Kate beat her to some superlative in the yearbook (or just got more people to sign hers) as well as homecoming queen and prom queen.

Not only that, she’s as insecure any teenage protagonist in a romantic comedy, but she’s trying to present herself as the Queen bee. If all that talk about copying Diana’s style or approaching Harry when she was in therapy is true, then I can only assume she was trying to have her own fairy tale story like what Kate had, but better.

But in reality, she wanted all the status of royalty, but didn’t want to deal with all the decorum that came with it because it meant waiting her turn for admiration. I’m sure that the announcement to step back from things could have been done better than the “asking for privacy” that made them a joke, even if it was something like “pursuing other projects without the backing of the royal family” because…not wanting to do it as a PR thing?

It must really grind her gears that she went from “member of royal family that doesn’t get the spotlight as much as somebody else” to “another actress in Southern California whose best days are behind her” (seriously, how long has it been since Suits went off the air?).

As for Harry, I’m not sure if he’s one of those guys who’d be better off single his entire life or will end up calling himself “happily divorced”. But if he just had some male or female confidant where he could deal with his issues (like Diana’s death which I’ve heard he and William never took very well, even into adulthood, or his feelings about being a spare) that he feels he can’t tell a therapist because reasons, or somebody who’d share his interests in things like The Invictus Games, then maybe Harry would be better off, even if his royal status didn’t come into the question. Meghan and Harry just seem like two personality types that just never seem to be on the same wavelength.

I wonder if they’ll end up divorcing once the kids reach adulthood.
 
Harry is very unattractive, and on top of being stupid, he is also quite boring.

It's a top cringe. It just makes me recoil from the second hand embarrassment. They look at him as if he said:
"You know, Meghan is a great cook, she can do some catering for you" or
"You know, Meghan is great at polishing a knob, she can do that for you"

It's so insane that he thought it is an appropriate place and time to do such things. I guess she would love to get some role in a movie, even a voiceover, because deep down she must know that even this recent hate-fest that still amounts to some level of clicks, is going to fizzle out.
I give it a year tops, unless she does something big like cheats on Harry with chauffeur or something equally outrageous.

That's the main problem with all narcissists. Because of their lack of authenticity, constant lies, and trying to present themselves as all-good, they are ultimately very boring.

Wasn't she kicked out of SAG? I don't know if that's just more rumors or not, but even if it's not true, I doubt she's still paying her union dues. She'd catch even more hell if she took any work non-union, I would think.

Prince Harry isn't bad looking, especially for a ginger. He wasn't as attractive as Wills in his prime

Those Diana genes wore off FAST in the face of Windsor. Although I do think Wills is starting to come into his own again in a certain way.

Yes. This will be offensive to some, but I think M also has a complex about being biracial that makes her feel as if no matter what she does, she’ll never quite be perceived as equal or superior to a similar white woman. (She will never wear her hair naturally. Her willingness to rep her blackness is extremely limited.)

The fact is that Kate is well-regarded as a genuine and thoughtful person, something Meghan can never match. It isn’t a race issue no matter how much people try to make it one.

Not only that, she’s as insecure any teenage protagonist in a romantic comedy, but she’s trying to present herself as the Queen bee. If all that talk about copying Diana’s style or approaching Harry when she was in therapy is true, then I can only assume she was trying to have her own fairy tale story like what Kate had, but better.
Divorced home things. Also neither of her parents remarried. I could see long term aloneness being terrifying to someone who said she often felt lonely as someone who was in practice an only child. (Anyone with older half-siblings who never lived with you will completely identify with struggling to feel they are truly siblings. It’s hard to bond with someone you barely know, even if they’re related by blood.)

Plus Kate comes from such a picture-perfect family that I can see M feeling even more insecure about being compared to her. (Prediction for M’s future memoir: She will say that the Palace sacrificed her to distract not just from the Rose Hanbury/William infidelity rumors, but to keep the Middletons’ business implosion post-COVID and Kate’s brother’s suicidal breakdown from generating more headlines. This will be a nuclear option and I suspect she hasn’t gracefully avoided it but is saving it for future impact.)

But in reality, she wanted all the status of royalty, but didn’t want to deal with all the decorum that came with it because it meant waiting her turn for admiration.
As others have put it, M thought becoming royal meant she could do whatever she liked when in fact being royal means doing what one is told. So much of the royals’ work is boring as shit. People talk about what a cushy gig it is, but anyone who has a job that involves being “on” for extended periods of time will know how draining that can be. Now imagine doing it with the entire world expressing their opinions about you. Given the choice, many would prefer working in a death cubicle or flipping burgers.

That said, I think the prospect of lifelong deference and submission to Kate and William was the ultimate dealbreaker.

Harry was a Christopher Robin type child who went through an extremely unattractive rodent phase until his face matured and netted out at average. He also seemed not to own a toothbrush.

Personally I think his weight loss since January 2024 has aged him, but that’s subjective. He always skips leg day from the looks of things, but is otherwise in decent nick. That said I suspect he has a rather Edwardian future ahead of him. It’s really dramatic how the guys in this family go from handsome to scarecrow-esque. It’s really too bad noses and ears elongate as we age due to cartilage softening and gravity.

KCIII has done well not to get skinny despite famously never eating lunch (until he got cancer, when he was persuaded to at least eat half an avocado at midday). He still has some upper arm definition too.

His kids seem to have gotten Kate's beautiful looks
Louis is the only one who looks like Kate, and they’re twinning.

Charlotte is the spit of William, to the point where there’s video of W seeing a photo of himself as a child and thinking it’s Charlotte.

George looks both very Spencer and just like Kate’s father IMO.

The Middleton women don’t seem to age well, though I think lifelong sunbathing and (in Carole and Kate’s cases) smoking has played a large part. George and Charlotte in particular always have eye bags and/or dark circles, which is no doubt genetic. Because the Harkle haters include some absolute lunatics, I think if Archie and Lili had the same (they don’t appear to) their critics would accuse Meghan of dehydrating the children and not letting them get adequate sleep.

Archie will be six next month. I wonder if we'll get any fresh photos. He had some quadroon curls a couple of years ago but his hair seems straighter now in the few glimpses we've gotten. Do we think M is straightening the kids' hair, or just keeping his short so whatever melanistic traits don't show as much?

It looks to me like classic wavy hair. One of mine had hair like this and it will dry relatively straight if you comb it wet and then within a day or two looks more curly and unkempt as the little one sleeps on it and any humidity does its thing.

It's odd how they love crying about how they're so persecuted because of "RAYCISM" and that the sole reason the general public finds them insufferable is because they "can't stand seeing a white royal with a black woman". At a glance, you can hardly even tell that she's half-black, if someone told me she was Italian or some other type of Mediterranean I'd believe them.

I watched 4ish seasons of Suits back in the day and it never occurred to me she wasn't white. If I'd had to guess my first stop would have been New York Jewish-mix, followed by "Italian, but not one of the swarthy ones".

I don't know how many of you Salon-ers are Euro/Britbongs, but that whole narrative annoyed me from the get-go.

I have family in that part of the world, so I follow a lot of British/European media outlets. Generally, I'd say I'm pretty familiar with the tabloid & media 'culture' there, and every time I hear this I wonder if I was somehow missing something really wild.

I'm trying to avoid powerlevelling here, but I'm old enough to at least vaguely remember when Catherine/William started dating (which went on for years, I'll add...) and how she was treated. Honest to god, you couldn't pay me to marry into that family, and that's not even taking having association with their slimier members into account. It was really quite brutal, with constant insinuations being made about her being a 'commoner', a social climbing money-grubber, etc. I thought it was hilarious at the time, because she's posh as fuck and the British are as autistic about class hierarchies as actual autistic kids are about fucking Pokemon taxonomy, but I'm sure it was tiresome for her.

Her family were dragged into it, including her siblings. The paparazzi stalking was out of fucking pocket - they followed her everywhere, I'm honestly kind of amazed neither of she nor William went full Britney Spears circa 2008 at some point and started beating journos with an umbrella. I remember distinctly seeing one video of the poor girl being literally pressed against her car at one point by paparazzi practically shoving their Nikons in her face, and I have to doff my cap to her self-restraint because I personally would go fucking feral in that scenario. I couldn't find stills of the video I'm thinking of just now, but it was intense - these just give you a rough idea. I think there was also an incident where some scumfuck paparazzo used a long-range camera to take pictures of her topless, on private fucking property, while they were on vacation in France somewhere. Basically, the kind of degree of obsessive attention that only a pathological narcissist like Markle would ever actually want.

Then, by comparison, when Mattress Markle rolled around - well, it was at least 10 years later, for one thing. Woke-ness, even among tabloid journo lizard people, was much more advanced ideologically. I say this because I actually felt like Markle got treated with absolute fucking kid gloves compared to Catherine - the moment it was even insinuated that she was part black everyone knew better than to mention it in anything less than a glowingly approving fashion. She couldn't even be subjected to the kind of non-racist-but-just-regular-sexist nitpickery royal women usually get, because it would be construed as 'misogynoir' by some retarded Buzzfeed verbal diarrhea dispenser within 12 hours of publication. Even among the public, the initial reaction to her seemed to be extremely positive overall. It was only after the wedding, and especially her 'no-one asked me if I'm OK...' interview with Tom Bradby that things started to sour with the British public, far as I can see. She got the easiest ride (cough) of any royal woman I can personally recall, and the dumb bitch still couldn't hack it because she wasn't immediately promoted to queen. :story:

I obviously don't read everything so I can't guarantee there weren't plenty of examples I just didn't see, but did anyone else? I know about the 'Straight Outta Compton' headline, but that's about the only real example I can think of and it's not a very strong one, considering the baseline level of abuse new royal girlfriends/wives get normally.
 
I'm also old enough to remember the terrible treatment of Catherine and similar treatment of Sarah Ferguson before that.
Catherine was portrayed as a social climber, obsessed with William, whose choice of university was deliberate to meet and snare him.

Meghan acknowledges how Catherine was treated and called 'Waity Katie' etc in her Oprah interview but says 'its not the same' because it wasn't about race.
 
I wonder if they’ll end up divorcing once the kids reach adulthood.
They'll be mid-50s by that point, at best. It could happen, but unlikely, unless they agree on it years before.

baseline level of abuse new royal girlfriends/wives get normally
Agree that every woman the sons dated got a ton of attention (which of course included criticism); it could be no other way.

But Megan was so patently grasping that there was a lot of negative attention and skepticism about her from the jump. A little bit was race-based, but mostly it was bc she was and is so obviously and overly unlikeable and try-hard.

It wasn't even so much about "ambition," which has been leveled at both her and Kate, despite those two's very different approaches and ideas about "winning." Had she been less obnoxious and not double/ triple/ quadrillioned down on being self-centering; had she ever once not tried to make herself the draw and the spotlight, even over the Queen; she'd have been forgiven for all that came before. But she didn't, and she doesn't, and she won't, because she truly believes that she and her being in the light is more important than every single other thing - and she is incapable of even cloaking it.

Can confirm it was always BS. There was HUGE goodwill for Meghan at first. Everyone was pleased for Harry and there was a frisson about the royal family having a member of color. It was an interesting story.

I can only speak for myself but many have said they experienced the same: The engagement interview made clear that she was a conniving and completely inauthentic person. It was actually shocking to me that anyone could have watched that and not seen it. Couldn’t have been more obvious. Especially when she said that the only thing she asked their matchmaker friend was “‘Well is he nice?’ because if he wasn’t kind, it just didn’t seem like it would make sense.” Just completely fucking fake.


Meghan later claimed that the interview was an “orchestrated reality show.” The very respected BBC journalist who conducted the interview was not impressed. I’m sure this didn’t help the Harkles’ credibility with the media.

Also they claimed in this interview that it was a blind date. But later they said Harry spotted her on Instagram and obviously she knew who he was.

That isn’t the fake one that was making the rounds, which you could have seen with a quick Google search. The one I shared is genuine. It was exposed by Meghan’s pal Gloria Steinem when she opened her home to Architectural Digest and left the card open on a side table in full view of the camera.
I'm so sorry; I made that post when I was up in the middle of the night, slightly delirious from a high fever. I didn't meant to come across as rude 😖

As an apology, I come bearing gifts - an article from the April 13th 2020 issue of Us Weekly that I stole from my doctor's waiting room's pile of old magazine, which specifically covers H&M's move to California, and how everyone in LA just LOOOOVES Meghan & Harry, they're gonna be the next #powercouple:

My favorite part is the "insider" claiming Meghan has major movie roll offers flooding in 🤣
 
This is what the paparazzi did to Kate one year on her birthday:


Another time they followed Kate and her family at the airport and started calling her a whore in front of her father, hoping to get a dramatic reaction that would fetch top dollar for the photos. This went on for ages, as they dated for eight years before they got married. She and William sued the publisher of her topless photos for €1.6 million but were only awarded around €100k.

Kate has a sharp sense of humor and is slightly dorky in an endearing way. She’s guarded but also manages to let her real character shine through. Meghan doesn’t have a real character, so she’ll never be able to do that.

Two clips demonstrating what I mean:



Whereas with Meghan, she said in their Netflix series that when the paparazzi showed up in Toronto, she smiled and spoke to them in a friendly way. Only for Harry to criticize her and say that if she smiled the press would say she was loving the attention. As Meghan told this anecdote, you could tell she felt she’d been scolded over something she was unprepared to deal with — and she was. Harry completely abandoned her by not giving her any guidance beforehand. I will make a clip of this later if I can’t find it online. It was very telling as to how neglectful Harry truly was from day one.

TL;DR Harry could have helped Meghan by warning her about paparazzi tactics and how to handle them, but instead he focused on trying to force what he will never be able to: making the media love Meghan. He’s an immature imbecile.
