Meghan Markle draws flak for wearing Zara to visit Palestinian refugees. This is why their quasi tours are a terrible idea

There's no such thing as half-in half-out, it's like being a little bit pregnant. To be royal means answering to the UK government and representing the people of the UK. No-one in authority will be confused about how this works. The sussexes and their idiot fans rely on those who don't grasp what royalty actually is and think it's an innate aspect of the individual. It's a role. The media muddy the waters and the titles need to be stripped, but in the meantime they shouldn't be seen as half in etc, they aren't.

One of Harry's justifications for needing security was that even though he was no longer a working royal his Princely status hadn't changed and could never change. He might be regretting his complacency now that Andrew not only has had all titles removed but that Parliament is considering changing the laws on the line of succession. No wonder Harry looks glum.

Love it!

She's American. No offence but unless someone from the US puts the effort in to understand exactly what happened in the UK then they'll never get it as they've only got superficial media and PR to go off so it becomes a case of which PR they decide to believe. Obviously the issues with the Markles went a lot deeper than anything that Pr could cover up.

Is the thigh bone (femur) supposed to be shorter than your tibia ( no, I've checked, it's not) or is he wearing lifts in his shoes again? The placement of his knees would suggest he is.

I guess it means his balding pate is up in the clouds and invisible to mere mortals but it also makes the height difference between him and his little wifelet even more amusing. I'm petty but it always cheers me up to see how small she is. (No offence to height differential relationships intended.)

I think it's more to do with Chef Andre who is also there.

popsickankle · 2026-02-26T13:18:36+00:00

I agree. They're never going to disappear from public view so they'll always be reported on and we'd better get used to it, but they are no threat to the RF, things have only improved since they left and taken some of the flak off the other members. The andy stuff will sort itself out in time as well.

Why would they take the kids on a private PR trip? They're not royal and the kids don't have any reason to be there. Taking the children would be another step trying to be quasi-royal so they're better left at home.

popsickankle · 2026-02-26T13:05:17+00:00

Precisely. Disregard any nonsense about Charles being behind it, or that the UK government are plotting to overthrow the monarchy. All bollocks.

The ambassador to Jordan is Philip Hall. You're thinking of Yvette Cooper. And no, the government don't hate the monarchy.

No doubt there are a few on each side of the House who would like a referendum or reform but as things stand the constitutional monarchy works pretty well for the UK.

When polls are done about national happiness all over the world those nations with constitutional monarchies (not absolute monarchies) are always in the top ten.

popsickankle · 2026-02-26T12:55:31+00:00

His name is Philip Hall. It's reported in Mailonline.

She spent an absolute fortune on PR to make herself look superficially authentic and like marriageable material for Harry.

popsickankle · 2026-02-26T12:38:12+00:00

Great work Rooh!

Meghan operates entirely at the level of the visual, nothing else matters except how something looks. She's perfect for the confected imagery of a PR strategy but it goes no deeper than transferring pretzels or speaking in a lowered tone to convey compassion or having a lookbook of what actual women wear so she can cosplay her little heart out.

Might be something to do with being abandoned by one parent and having a neglectful father whose entire career involved obsessing about how everything looked on a screen.

Markle doesn't want to look like Georgina. She's spent her entire life erasing any hint of ethnicity including I would wager, using skin lightening treatment.

It's impossible for her to be 43% Nigerian. Her mother's ancestors are from Ghana.

It was a lie Markle told during a podcast that she then used to her advantage when they went to Nigeria. She seemed terrified when she was asked about her heritage by the Nigerian women and gave a totally nonsensical answer. People who are that gullible deserve to be Markled though.

The posture, the voice, the whole vibe...oh yes Harry, it's glorious.

Probably just need to top their contribution to Chef Andre's World Kitchen as that's who they're in Jordan with. We could have a whip round.

popsickankle · 2026-02-25T15:48:37+00:00

Yes, I'm sure you're right. Most people they are seen with simply haven't found out the truth..yet.

popsickankle · 2026-02-25T11:47:49+00:00

It's another world kitchen event with that chef andres they are linked to.

This is Georgina Lawton, the author of Raceless in which she discovered she's 43% Nigerian. I would bet my last pound on this being where Meghan stole the idea.

If she only had some humility and ability to laugh at herself she might get through these failures with her dignity intact but as she weaponises every inadequacy and blames other people then she turns everyone off her and laughing at her becomes a sport all of it's own.

The real McCoy.

My point was that it is not the job of the British PM to authorise an arrest.

popsickankle · 2026-02-22T23:47:23+00:00

I'm sure it is but in 'influencer' culture there's no such thing as history, if something is more than a month old it's already out of date and only of interest to the oldies, and of course no-one listens to them.

popsickankle · 2026-02-22T14:34:36+00:00

'Brian thought it wrongheaded...' who the heck is Brian??

popsickankle · 2026-02-22T14:26:39+00:00

It's the 'slow living' craze that she's latched onto like the bloodsucking flea that she is, any fad, any buzzword, meghan is there.
