All I can say is that this came from twitter.

When everyone gets along and then they all start bickering you can be sure some Michevalian character Is manipulating people.

My personal experience (not the only truth but from my observations) was that Emz befriended Taz and they started a new YT channel where Taz was helping Emz get off the ground. At some point Taz moved on and I assume that Emz probably didn’t appreciate that as she still needed Taz to grow her channel. Then Murky Meg got banned from twitter. Emz jumped to support Murky Meg. The more cynical of us might have thought that by supporting Murky, Emz might have been able to collect some of Murkys followers on twitter at least. They started doing a combined video.

Then rumour was that Taz had something to do with Murky’s twitter suspension,  Private messages disparaging Taz were going around some of it regarding her medications, all of it bad. While on Taz was on holiday, one twitterer threaten suicide and Taz from abroad tried to get assistance by phoning the police. It was revealed to be a hoax. Taz as you can imaging is now in a fragile state with the never ending drama.

Then Yankee Wally tried to negotiate a peace between Murky and Taz. Murky then put out a statement published on twitter which blamed Wally of betrayal, throwing her under a bus.

So in the end you had Murky Meg and Emz in one corner, Taz and Wally in another. Everyone has their own supporters (a mess)

Then! One twitterer found out that Emz not only has many profiles on twitter, Facebook and instagram but that she is NOT a registered therapist as she claims to be. This is illegal. Uproar occurred one evening and by the end Emz had closed her twitter accounts and many of the other accounts where people were getting info on her from.

So Taz is the last one standing on Twitter. Wally is there but undercover as she was banned. Murky I suspect continues her channel and Emz has slide off to lick her wounds. I doubt if she would come back to twitter but will probably stay on YouTube and Facebook.

It is my opinion that all this drama comes from the manipulation of Emz to establish herself in this arena and gather supporters. Didn’t end the way she planned.

Hello All,

I watch all of these ladies on YouTube faithfully since probably the last year. And im even going back to hear what i had missed.

I listen to Merky Meg, Yankee Walky, Taz, Lady Colin Campbell, Tarot by Andy, Emz, (and Emz & Taz), Princess Tiffany, River, Sue Smith, Danja Zone, Leilani of Barbados, Celt and Bookworm (in no particular order).

Anywho-my point in short is I can’t see any of these ladies speaking bad about eachother. Ive never heard it, they all are in support of eachother and givr credits for content to eachother. I’m really confused at this.

What Anon says is true. I’m in QLD and our total lockdown days is about 35, three weeks in March 2020, a couple of 3 day lockdowns and one 7 day lockdown. We have no restrictions, stadiums are open, footy finals, cinemas and music ventures, kids at uni and school (not 1st semester 2020). Can’t leave the country though - but this will open by Christmas. We are very compliant and don’t have illegal marches, obey distancing, most people still wear masks even though we don’t need to, and we QR code when entering shops but that is not mandatory. Covid just past us by, (7 deaths out of 5 million people) whether by superior government management or just plain good luck.

I hope you guys don't believe everything conservative media broadcasts. These are the same people who think Australia has become a totalitarian society and needs to be invaded by troops. I live in Australia. My state has no restrictions - no mask mandate, no capacity limits - because we have no virus. If they are happy to broadcast utter nonsense about an entire country, they would have no trouble making stuff up about the royals (or anyone else).

Ummm ok I don't believe everything I read thanks.

Jesal is the photographer that Meghan used to call to take her pap shots when she was still dating Harry. He confirmed this many times himself. She used to collaborate with him to stage pap shots. He's allegedly the person she contacted when she was living with Harry in KP and informed him that she will be going shopping with Kate. He allegedly informed the palace that someone told him that Kate and Meg would be coming for shopping. So when Meg asked Kate to give her a lift, Kate declined and that was one of the unforgivable sins she committed against Meghan.

Jesal was the one who told the palace? They really owe him a favor then.

Love the discussions on your blog on the deal failures and their overall brand failures.

Regarding Netflix / Spotify, who knows what the deal is - but one thing that’s definitely true is that their attempts at hiring their way of the mess they’ve created are destined to fail. As a talent pro you know the adage that you can’t hire people to fix a problematic company. What’s even more telling is that they’re cheap and not getting the caliber of help they need. Their open reqs for an art director for Pearl wanted 3-5 years of experience (wtf) and the woman they hired for Archewell Audio has only produced for people who have long careers as professional expert talking heads - Pivot basically runs on its own with Scott Galloway and Kara S blabbing away on their own. That is not what H&M are capable of, any podcast they put out needs a lot of conceptual production, writing, and other work to build a functional vehicle for them. For that you will need a whole team, and a much more seasoned lead who has experience in building these end-to-end podcasts that aren’t just focused on showcasing a very articulate expert host.

As for their actual branding failure, my theory is simple: You can’t build a brand off of victimhood. It is sad and true all over the world but esp in America, given our love affair with superheroes and bravado. There have been plenty of public figures who have lost more for standing up to abuse much more critical and righteous things than being relegated to a b-list Royal (booohooo) and having uncaring in-laws. Monica Lewinsky. Meghan Kelly. Colin Kapaernick. Rose McGowan. None of them ever regained their footing (or were outright blacklisted) despite initial sympathetic and buzzy celebration for telling their story. We want the trials and tribulations they suffered through to be part of a story that ends in success, not have it BE the story. It’s a timing issue, really. People love Britney and her story right now because we are discovering the terms of her conservation and what she was up against while she still carried on an enormous Vegas residency and making millions. Imagine if Meghan stayed for 7, 10 years. Advocated successfully for more POC actors and playwrights as patron of NT. Built 50 community kitchens. Nice photos of the whole family every Christmas with adorable shelter animals from Mayhew. Then quietly decides to “retire” from public service in UK to California and successfully delivers something - a movie, a podcast, whatever. Then goes on Oprah and talks about postpartum depression and needing to leave and find her voice. Imagine how THAT would have landed!

100%. It all comes down to infrastructure. You can hire the most brilliant minds, but they won’t get very far without the requisite resources. I love William but even I am willing to concede that Earthshot is as big as it is, because of the immense royal machine behind him. Yes he is a visionary, but even the most innovative ideas need people to implement them. Not to mention it requires the leader to roll up their sleeves and do the work alongside their teams.

[goannna]

I understand and agree 100% that anything said by mm needs outside verification to be taken as truth.

That being said, it was reported that a member of the BF wore a highly offensive 'golliwog' broach to a dinner that included mm, and it also stated that this member of the RF also has two black sheep on her country estate that she named Venus and Serena. (Said to be Prince Michael of Kent). Was this a true report? If yes, why doesn't mm use this as evidence of the RF racism? Also reported that when asked why she wore the broach yo the dinner with mm, she responded that she didn't realize that she was wearing it. Yeah right!

Oh, it happened but not the way she said it did. The photo is out there, its been hacked to death. No one was close to as outraged as Meghan wanted.

This is a Venetian Moretto brooch. It depicts an Arab prince, nothing to do with anyone black at all. This one depicts Balthazar, one of the Magi. She wore a Christmas themed brooch to a family Christmas party. Meghan likely had nothing to do with it, except that perhaps Princess Michael thought wearing a brooch depicting non white royalty was a gesture of welcome to a soon to be royal with African heritage. I doubt it though. It wasn't a meet Meghan party, although Meghan tried to sell it like that in the press. It was the royals annual get together.

That said , the sheep names are also real. However, it and the go to the colonies story have both been discussed ad nauseum. The consensus is that she's not racist, just snobbish and not very PC.

What do you expect from a woman the queen describes as "a bit too grand for us."

Here's the actual facts:

To bring attention back to the beauty of his pieces rather than to the increasing refrain that the moretto might be offensively ‘racist’, Nardi has begun in recent years to produce moretti of the same design, but with faces crafted of other precious jewels and materials – faces of turquoise, of ruby, of soft pinks and greens. Nardi’s emphasis is on the beauty of the object, not its supposed racial origins. But he worries that even this gesture plays further into views that the moretto, in and of itself, is a racist object that now needs to be sanitized and de-coloured. Nardi is a man of deep and educated sensibilities, crucially aware of the views of his clientele but also conscious of his city’s long multi-cultural heritage.

Regardless of one’s views of the Nardi moretto, why one of his brooches should cause such a stir when worn to a private lunch in December 2017 is a little puzzling. Gioelleria Nardi participated in the Venice Luxus Pavilion in this year’s Venice Biennale, with examples of the moretto on prominent display as soon as visitors entered the pavilion. Yet, of the 615,000 visitors to the Venice Biennale this year, not one made a comment about the supposed racism of such a display. And indeed Alberto Nardi told me that not one person has ever entered his shop, in the many years in which he has been its proprietor, to say that his jewellery has caused them offence. Quite the contrary. Several years ago Whoopi Goldberg bought a Nardi moretto brooch as a sign of ‘black pride’.

Whilst consumption and sartorial display always carry signs and codes, with the potency of these signs in direct proportion to the power and status of those displaying them, we need to be aware of the broader and more complex histories contained within a singular item of jewelery before jumping to conclusions about its signification. In the sartorial signs of recent days in Britain, more troubling perhaps is the vision of a woman wearing a Ralph & Russo dress costing a reputed 65,000 euros (£56,000) in her official engagement photos designed for wide dissemination – a price almost double that of average annual salaries in the UK. Instead the international press has rushed to condemn a small piece of jewelry with a complex, subtle, and indeed beautiful, history worn by an established royal individual to a private family event who now, rather sadly, feels she can never wear it again.

[goannna]

OMG! Love the photo. Nothing more than a hand in a moving mountain of veil tulle. 🤣

I agree with you on Meghan’s veil. If you looked at the Queen’s dress and wedding she had her two young boy attendants carrying her train (looked like a veil because of the post ww2 material rationing). Interesting that years later Meghan tried to replicate that with the Mulroney twins carrying her oversized veil. I felt that the veil and dress did not match each other. I liked the design of the wedding dress but with Meghan in it - you can tell it needed more fittings. The veil was too big and i think it needed more embroidery to it, because i am sorry to say it looked like a tablecloth. You do not get Givenchy couture just for the end result to look like a tablecloth.

Yep...

Diana visited Northwestern University on the 4th June 1996. This is the reason for the date.

Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor

Well she wasn’t born on PP birthday.

But her name!! (I’m screaming incoherently)

We run away from the Firm. They are racist. We were silenced. I have genetic pain caused by the grandparents. But we love the Queen and named our daughter after her.

[goannna]

A similarity between Trump and MM is their strange capitalization. Like every sentence is a title. It’s not so evident here in Stongwrite,(there is some) but in other things MM has written. And the calligraphy! It’s almost like her written words are a gift from God. 

I think she hates William the most because he ALWAYS saw her for who she really was and could never fool him. I’m not an expert on narcs, but it seems like anyone who sees through them becomes public enemy #1. I have believed for a long time that the ‘war’ is mostly between them. W hates her for being a trashy gold digging user who doesn’t belong in the family and she hates him for seeing who she is and getting in the way of her grift. I desperately hope he gets the justice he deserves.

William has a different relationship to Harry since they are brothers than Charles, The Queen, or any of the Spencer aunts do. Siblings tend to be more direct than parents, generally.

But yeah, Megs totally hates William. Here's a nice sample:

Why even belong to twitter when attempting this bullshit???

And she clearly does NOT like the idea that she did not marry the top of the food chain! https://twitter.com/StrongWrite/status/1329440432317665280

I wouldn’t say that’s a farm house. Looks like a typical Queenslander style of house. Living in one now. Complete with frangipani tree out the front as well.

I can’t tell if StrongWrite actually sounds like her or not. But I wouldn’t be surprised. We all know MM has multiple fake accounts everywhere for lurking and stalking. Ugh, she is such a creepy and deranged person.

I remember back in 2019, or possibly earlier, that I saw things that could only have been known by her. Things such as mentioning getting lawyers to sue right after the DM published selections of her letter to her dad.

But yeah, she’s crazy. Here’s a nice selection from the last year & a half, under the break.

Second half of the tweet 👇

She’s tremendously overconfident and full of herself.

https://twitter.com/strongwrite/status/1228398865457565702

She knows entertainment reporters.

https://twitter.com/strongwrite/status/1229058672246087680

From earlier in the thread:

She really doesn’t like Kevin from Entertainment Tonight (ET):

Celebrating her 2nd wedding anniversary and, hey, did you know what kind of phone Harry had?

https://twitter.com/strongwrite/status/1262890071851745280

And let’s not forget how much she hates Kate:

https://twitter.com/strongwrite/status/1265761350334242816

Last, but certainly not least, her belief that Archie is the Second Coming for the BRF:

https://twitter.com/strongwrite/status/1267525421626724353

Megsy is tremendously overconfident and so completely full of herself. Will & Kate have three kids, currently. But she needs to believe that her only son is important. Reality be damned! Her son isn’t going to be a prince, which is why she’s so pissed now and waging “war.”

I mean, I could go on and on but take a look at these tweets:

She hates that William “scarfed” her: https://twitter.com/strongwrite/status/1363915877364740099

She’s sooooo thin skinned it’s amazing!!

So Baby #2 seems to be more an attempt at keeping Harry by her side based on this tweet: https://twitter.com/strongwrite/status/1362796670493335557

Megs not understanding that a FOURTH Cambridge kid makes her kid less important:  https://twitter.com/strongwrite/status/1361380480298409991

Yes, Megs is crazy, but we wouldn’t be in this situation to begin with unless Meghan was batshit crazy!

I didn’t mean for the post to be this long. I just kept finding so many gems that I thought needed to be shared.

[goannna]

Oh this is good! This gal went to Northwestern University with Harry’s wife and posts about her. Oh, are they good!! I’ll re-post the juicy ones.

... below she is responding that she doesn’t find Prince Harry attractive.

[goannna]

In 2013, Trevor Noah said in a comedy routine that “all women are beautiful except aborigines”. 😦 That went down like a lead ballon in Australia. What was he thinking?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dAh1RYzG4hg

About trevor Noah can I just say that as a french mixe race woman I despise him since we won the World Cup of football? Because this man called our team the Africa team because we have a lot of black and maghrebi men playing in it. People told him it was a racist talking point of the rassemblement national (previously front national led by the Lepen family) he didn't acknowledge it and told we were wrong. It's not his country yet he thought he knew better. But the far right always say this because in their view we will never be french because of our origins and skin colours, he basically said they were right, yet he tried to act holier than thou. Sorry for my English

I remember that! I totally understand where you are coming from and why it was offensive. Even if he meant it in a "black pride" way he got it wrong, because as you pointed out, it otherises French nationals of African origin.

[goannna]

Yes, exactly. When Harry says “our” it therefore implies that they are in agreement for the rest of the statement about the “evil press”, which PW did not say. It’s a slight of hand magic trick.

I’m confused about the “my” and “our”. Seems like harry is trying to come off the bigger person

No, just that he's trying to do a joint statement.

[goannna]

Oh my freaking Gosh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is true, Harry, through his sense of entitlement, thought he and Meghan were going to modernize this monarchy. Until they did not get their way and fled. Bet he was shocked to find his UK popularity plummet from the most popular to some where just above Camilla. That has to sting. And can’t say I’m too sad about that 😏.

the footage of Will and Harry walking from the funeral and talking is sad. Why did Harry have to do all this? He’s made a mess of what looked like a wonderful brotherly bond. I doubt that it will ever be the same again. I just don’t get why he had to do it. Why did he hurt his family?

I can’t remember if I wrote about it on here or not, but a while ago I asked how much Harry was involved in the attacks of his family, because they were confusing to me. So much had Meghan’s fingerprints over it and she is a great manipulator, but Harry seemed along for the ride, but he also isn’t the most intelligent person, so I kept wavering, even though I was always more than happy to criticise Harry for going along with it, at the very least.

What I could see, for entertainment purposes only, not fact, not defamation and only opinion, is that Harry is someone that has deep-rooted anger and resentment towards Charles, and blamed him for a lot. Charles is far from perfect and I’m not his biggest fan, I’ll admit, but even then, I felt that Harry’s blame-game towards him was too much.

I felt that because of that resentment, Harry grew up and twisted into blaming everyone and everything around him for his own actions. He can’t take personal responsibility for anything.

For example, and I’m not saying that this happened. You know the anti-William press that blamed him for Harry wearing the Nazi costume? It’s like Harry would feel that although he was the one that chose it, he would rationalise it as, “William’s my big brother, he should have told me it was a bad idea and he should have protected me, those photos and bad press are his fault.” Or the slurs in the army. “It was just banter and others said it too, so the press are just singling me out for no reason and it’s not even a big deal.” That kind of twisted thinking into absolving himself of any responsibility.

What’s going to be difficult to believe, and I know how outlandish it sounds, so take this with all the salt that you need. I really do believe that Harry thought that he could manipulate and use Meghan for his own gain, all to make his star even brighter and eclipse the rest of his family, so he could be more like his mother and be beloved while sneering at the rest of his family because he thought he “deserved” that kind of love and fame. I also felt that it wasn’t Meghan, but Harry that used the race card to get what he wanted with Meghan, and Meghan blinked at the positive response and has now run with it, because Harry showed her how effective that strategy was. I don’t think she thought about that too much before he tried it. I know how that sounds, but I stand by that opinion.

Harry is so concerned with himself and what he believes that he “deserves” that these are all childish tantrums at his family. It’s so childish that he thinks that they deserve it and shouldn’t blame him, but thank him for him making them “see the light.” It’s a bizarre mix of ill-guided revenge and what he believes he deserves.

There’s a selfish streak in him a mile wide, but it will get better with time. It won’t go away completely, but I really do believe that he’ll grow as a person, at least a little, when he returns to the family. But make no mistake. This entire situation? The beginning was more about Harry’s actions than Meghan’s. Meghan tried to get in with him using manipulation, but Harry was just as manipulative and wanted her. She’s more intelligent and he follows along, but aside from her allegedly being a narcissist? He genuinely agrees with her manipulations much more easily because parts of him believed them to be true anyway. He is just as guilty as her.
