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

[John Andrews Stan]

Andrew would never last. I can see him abdicating for his daughter instead. Or so I hope.

They’d never let him near the throne at this point — and that’s even without figuring in that one of his closest advisers was just caught on video saying Andrew DID have sex with underage girls and “the whole royal family knew” it.

Backstory: John Bryan was Fergie’s financial adviser who was papped sucking on her toes in the early 1990s, leading to her (first) downfall. Bryan was also close to Andrew, surprisingly, even after the affair was revealed. Fergie and her daughters lived at Bryan’s house and with Andrew they all “co-parented” Beatrice and Eugenie. In 2022, Bryan did a huge interview with the Daily Mail at Andrew’s request, proclaiming that Andrew was innocent of all the Epstein allegations and Epstein had planned to extort the Queen.

But last week the story broke on X that he’d been captured saying Andrew lied to him. None of the UK press are reporting it at all. According to my contacts, they’re all waiting for one media outlet to make the first move and then the rest will follow. In the meantime they don’t want to risk legal issues or piss off King Charles.

Tonight Bryan went on that shitstain Piers Morgan’s show and claimed he didn’t mean anything he said on video and was just showing off. I don’t buy it and neither does anyone familiar with him. Note Piers Morgan is friends with Beatrice and Eugenie.

Meghan and Harry have been fairly restrained in not going as hard in the paint after Andrew as they’d like. That was entirely due to their closeness to Beatrice and Eugenie. But I wonder if they’ll remain so quiet on it now that they’ve fallen out over the sisters publicly palling around with Piers Morgan and Jeremy Clarkson. Clarkson — who is also friends with Queen Camilla — wrote a column about Meghan that got him in hot water with UK press regulator and he later apologized and said he didn’t mean it. Full quote:

I hate her. Not like I hate Nicola Sturgeon or Rose West. I hate her on a cellular level. At night, I’m unable to sleep as I lie there, grinding my teeth and dreaming of the day when she is made to parade naked through the streets of every town in Britain while the crowds chant, ‘Shame!’ and throw lumps of excrement at her.

Seems pretty measured and moderate to me. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Meghan and Harry have officially jumped the shark if this is true:

So what's the deal with this, if you don't mind ? Daily Fail always puts the "scoop" under their new + nonsense. We get better info from you and other posters in this thread anyway.

Also, does Will always keep his kids and wife close to him, not just on trips? I got the impression that he needs that control over them, not in a manipulative way but in a "I love them so much I'm afraid to lose them kind of way".

As an aside and possibly unpopular opinion, but I wish Victoria would go back to her sassy short bob era, but with a modern twist. She looked very chic with that style; few people can pull it off as well as her. Her long hair is just so basic.

 

[Free the Pedos]

Can I ask how you know all this shit? Do you just have an autist-level obsession with the BRF or are you an actual leak?

@John Andrews Stan is Ephraim Mirvis.

@John Andrews Stan is Ephraim Mirvis.

I fuckin knew it

 

[Vastly Amused]

Then he moved to Thailand where he and his son have been photographed with young Thai women (or Thai people who look like women). Because oh yeah, he and his son also have a history of sex tourism in Asia.

I thought they were in the Philippines?

That’s the front page of the Sun (though the Daily Mail has followed suit). I hate that I even know any of this but:

The Beckhams’ firstborn Brooklyn married billionaire heiress and fame-hungry model/actress/screenwriter Nicola Peltz a few years ago. Nicola has fallen out with the Beckhams several times since then, starting with a very public dispute about why Victoria didn’t design her wedding gown. They’ve always made up after each break but the latest is Nicola and Brooklyn flew to London for the five ostentatious 50th birthday celebrations for his father but fucking ghosted them upon arrival. They didn’t show for any of the events and his parents were posting on Instagram to try to get him to contact them. Some have claimed the issue is that Nicola doesn’t want her or Brooklyn to be around Romeo Beckham’s girlfriend Kim Turnbull, who used to be close to Brooklyn when she dated his friend Rocco Ritchie (Madonna’s son). But by all accounts Nicola is just a thundercunt and extremely controlling of Brooklyn. She has past form with trying to ride the coattails of famous families, as she previously dated Anwar Hadid (of the unhinged Islamist Hadids whose creepy real estate mogul father claims “Palestinian refugee” status). At that time Nicola was very showy on social media and in interviews about how close she was to his sisters Gigi and Bella, and his mother Yolanda.

Meanwhile M and H fell out with the Beckhams not long after inviting them to their wedding (but not to the evening reception for VVIPs). Meghan claimed they had leaked stories to the press about them. Reportedly Harry called David and accused them outright, which he of course denied. So they are estranged while in the meantime the Beckhams have grown closer and closer to the BRF, including David appearing at William’s Earthshot Prize ceremony and Charles’s home Highgrove multiple times (once with Victoria). The couple also attended the monarch’s state dinner for the Qatari emir, as Beckham has enriched himself with tens of millions of dollars from the country that hosts Hamas and funds terrorism around the world. David has been desperate for a knighthood for a long time (his frustrated emails about not getting one were leaked a couple of years ago) and those two will do anything to stay in the BRF’s good books.

Media have been comparing Nicola and Brooklyn to the Harkles. This week Catherine wore a Victoria Beckham suit to the late Queen’s fashion awards ceremony and looked like a million bucks (pulling off the sharp, sophisticated look Meghan was going for with her ridiculously oversized Ralph Lauren trouser suit). Now supposedly Meghan and Harry are giving the couple succor, hosting them at their home and sympathizing with them as fellow insensitive, family-wrecking shit-stirrers.

I thought they were in the Philippines?

No, Thailand.

@John Andrews Stan thanks for the recap. It all sounds very silly, and very obvious what M&H are doing. They literally can't help themselves, can they?

They’re lolcows and therefore have close to zero impulse control and an iron-clad inability to press the learn button. They will insist they are correct and continue talking out of their asses long after they have been proven wrong. You know the type.

This makes them relatively predictable; the surprise is in the details.

For example, I’m hearing (but have not yet gotten second source confirmation) that for the time being Catherine’s public appearances will no longer be announced in advance. Instead those involved and select members of the royal rota (journalists) will be the only ones notified under strict confidentiality. This suggests there has been a credible threat to the Princess of Wales’ safety. If this proves true, we can be sure Meghan will put on a new victim show in response. The only surprise will be exactly how low she sinks.

Saw someone on Twitter theorize that Harry's sudden fondness for hats is to cover up the fact that he's had a hair transplant and is waiting for his scalp to heal and his hair to regrow. I have no idea if it's true but if it is that's funny as fuck.

 

[Vastly Amused]

No, Thailand.

I could have sworn I heard in an interview with Thomas Markle Jr. that he and his father were living together in the Philippines, so I looked it up. It appears from the following and a few other recent articles that he is in the Philippines.

What’s funny is that I saw a video he made this week where he talked about he and his father living in Thailand. He had previously talked about wanting to move to Thailand so once he said that’s where they were, I didn’t dig any deeper.



I guess he misspoke? I don’t think they moved in the past two days and I don’t see why he’d lie about it, but right now they are in the Philippines.

What’s also strange is that in 2018 Thomas Jr. gave an interview saying that his father had traveled to Thailand and was hooking up with the local women while married to Doria. He all but called his father a sex tourist. Thomas Sr. denied everything but it seems odd they’ve reconciled and now they’ve each found local companions (the one with Thomas Sr. might be just a home health aide/assistant, who knows).

Does it even need to be asked?

They’re silk tea bags.

It’s been reported that the big celeb in the second season of WLM (which was shot at the same time as season one) will be Chrissy Teigen. So that should be excessively annoying. Also supposedly Harry isn’t in it at all. I seriously doubt this will be the case by the time the final edit is done.

 

[Rich Evans Simp]

Can anyone who is knowledgeable about African hair and hair extensions please tell me what is going on with Meghan’s mop? It appears to me that the extensions (or wig or whatever) must be very close to the scalp to hide the curly/frizzy texture close to the root. Why is it so raggedy at the ends? Is she just that deranged that her hair length MUST be longer than Catherine’s at any cost?

Pic related.

 

[Random Internet Person]

It’s pretty old and a little dated now — it came out in like 2009 I think — but Chris Rock’s documentary “Good Hair” is very interesting and informative about black people’s hair and the ungodly amounts of money (mostly) black women spend to mutilate theirs to keep it straight. It goes into the industry of their hair care products, weaves, etc. but there are also some really heartbreaking (to me) moments where it’s shown that even little black girls are led to believe they’re “supposed” to straighten their hair. It talks a lot about how these women think and feel about their hair. Seems pretty self-loathing and insidious. I can believe Meghan, even though she’s mixed, shared that loathing. The movie’s worth a watch if you have nothing better to do. A handful of celebs are featured and interviewed in it.

I’ve seen that doc. It’s pretty good. And there some Barbershop movies with Ice Cube and Cedric The Entertainer. And there was a Beauty Shop film with Queen Latifah.

For as much as folks like to talk about “black people things”, caring about hair or shooting the shit at a barber shop is some things I’d say rings true.

I found it strange that so many white women didn’t know what black women go through with their hair. I don’t have dozens of black friends or anything, but just from people I went to school with posting on social media, I saw what black women go through just trying to care for their children’s hair (let alone their own). I’ve seen them post multi-hour weekly wash-and-style sessions that look downright painful with all the scalp-pulling and braiding, not to mention the expense.

Meghan’s hair looks like it would be beautiful if she wore it naturally. I think she’s saving that stunt for a little further down the line when it’s harder for her to get media attention.

If she’s saving going back to her natural hair to get press, add it to her long list of fails. She’s bound to have some scalp damage preventing the hair from growing to what it used to look like, which was honestly lovely. Then there’s the plain fact that while it might get attention, at this point, few will likely give a fuck, and even if it does get traction, it’ll be short-lived.

She should have done it early on when she was trying to present herself as the ‘first black to marry into the royal family’, and used it to her advantage. Not years later when the world is bored and weary of the endless “racism” cards being pulled.

I’m just hoping those kids didn’t inherit the hair, and she’s been straightening it to match hers. My black friends back in the 80s (when everyone had big but mostly straightened hair) told me enough horror stories of getting their scalps burned from the chemicals and hot irons that I quickly shut up about running low on Aqua Net.

Being a young girl with curly hair in the 1990s and 2000s was fucking brutal. Stick-straight hair was all the rage and anything else was considered hideous. My best friend is a white girl with 3b hair and she's told me about how she hated the fact that growing up, the girls who looked exactly like her were always the "before" in makeovers in movies and tv shows. Thankfully her mom (3c hair) never let her anywhere near a straightener or treatments and taught her how to love her hair, but growing up and having your entire culture view your hair texture as ugly and undesirable does an absolute number on your self esteem.

Considering how the last decade or so was all about talking about #BlackIsBeautiful and #BlackExcellence, I’m surprised Meghan didn’t try to do something to reclaim her natural hair, or say the royal family forced her to keep it straight because “they’re racist.

Interestingly, I read that Archie was the code name security used for George.

Lily is a fine name and would have been a good tribute. Taking the actual private family nickname, Lilibet, was appalling, even to these American eyes.

Elizabeth’s husband called her Cabbage, or so I understand. I’m surprised the child wasn’t named Cabbage Lilibet.

I’d love to have been a fly on the wall when these names were discussed. I also thought the Monarch had to approve names, so was that done? Did they skip that part? Were they told no and said said fuck them? I can’t imagine Meghan had been dreaming of a girl named Lilibet all her life, come on. Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor also sounds ridiculous together.

I’m not sure about approval, but I have to think Royal titles play into it. It’s funny because I think both Meghan and Catherine were brought up as “changing the way people see the royal family and royal procedures”, like how there was a whole hoopla over whether or not Elizabeth would actually do something super substantial to address Diana’s death.

Meghan has said she was a big fan of the Archie comics as a kid. But yes, Archie was George’s security moniker.

Harry claims his grandmother gave her blessing for the name Lilibet to be used, but according to those close to her it was presented as a fait accompli and she felt she didn’t have much choice but to go along with it. Royal biographer Robert Hardman quoted a staff member saying that QEII was “as angry as I’d ever seen her” when she found out Harry and Meghan had publicly claimed she had approved the name:


It was all very on-brand for those two.

You know how guys will say things like “I fucking hate you, I hope you die in a fire.” and how nearly every talk of somebody (potentially) going to jail has folks talking about that person getting raped in prison? I’d like to think that Elizabeth had a way to say things like that but in that super cheerful way British women present themselves . It seems like Meghan would present opportunities for that, or at least a chance to say “Shut up, Meg.”

What’s the British version of “Oh, bless your heart”?

While no one would accuse his parents of being great intellects, Brooklyn Beckham transcends that into actual retardation. He and his rock-stupid American heiress wife are like a funhouse mirror version of Meg and Harry. Their saving grace is that they don't seem to take themselves all that seriously even while doing their own overpriced LARPing as lifestyle gurus.

A note about this series: Cookin' With Brooklyn attracted criticism when it was revealed that it took 62 professionals to create each episode, at a reported cost of $100,000 per episode.
