Shocking. King Charles diagnosed with Cancer. Wishing him well.

We all knew something was amiss. Had an intuitive sense that William was getting ready to step up in the spring. The big question is...Is Catherine going to be stepping up along side with him?

Some Thoughts Regarding James Somerton

I know I'm rather late to the conversation and some of these points may have already been talked about in some form elsewhere on the site, but if you don't mind, I have some thoughts of my own regarding the subject of hbomberguy's latest video and I would like to take time to voice. This blog is normally dedicated to music and music writing, not posts about disgraced Youtubers, so I apologize for the detour in regularly scheduled programming.

First, I think it's important to make the distinction that Somerton isn't just a case of "problematic Youtube guy got owned... twice" but rather a genuine case of academic dishonesty, which is several grades above youtuber drama. This isn't something like Tati Westbrook getting angry at James Charles for sucking dick and cock at a birthday dinner. This isn't Ethan Klein and Trisha Paytas or whomever having beef. It's not Charlie Critikal talking about some stupid drama of the day or someone just using Youtube videos to say a bunch of gross and problematic stuff. No. This is a fucking grifter who not only lied, cheated, and stole his way to the top, but also did it by using a vulnerable community that has long had their voices snuffed out and their history completely rewritten or wiped from existence altogether. What history he didn't plagiarize, he twisted and outright lied about. He just made shit up to suit his own gross agenda.

A lot of things about James Somerton left me absolutely livid, and I admit that I didn't even know who he was until hbomberguy's video. I think what makes me the most mad is that I went to undergrad and grad school with a number of jackoffs that were just like him. People that didn't give a shit about the art of writing and research and just treated academia and the pursuit of knowledge and how to critically engage with art and media into a stupid game that only chumps take seriously. Somerton pisses me off because I AM a writer. When I write the Ranting and Raving series of posts on here, that stuff doesn't just fly out of my ass. I have to sit with a song, study it, research it, and make sure I know what I'm talking about so I don't look like a clown. I also have to make sure that I link and credit where I'm getting information from. It's not just important for my own satisfaction, but it's important for anyone who stumbles upon a post on this blog and takes time out of their day to read it and/or reblog it.

I think that's the part that makes me the most mad. That he and Nick Hergott have so little respect for the work that goes into researching and writing about a topic that other people are really passionate about. Spending time with something, studying it, and figuring out an interesting and unique perspective on it is a great feeling. Sharing what you find or how you see something with others and having them either like or reblog your work is an even greater feeling. That's my writing that somebody enjoyed and thought was worth sharing with others. Fuck fuck fuck Somerton for thinking you can take a million little shortcuts to get to that result.

While I'm on the topic, I don't think Hergott gets a pass for Somerton's actions. I've seen some people make the argument that he isn't complicit and there's a chance that he genuinely had no clue that Somerton was doing this... but I don't buy it. There's no way he didn't know and wasn't in on it in some capacity. Even if he wasn't, as Todd in the Shadows pointed out in his video on this situation, Nick is, whether you like it or not, an accomplice to Somerton's lies and he is complicit in the blame, due to his name being included in the "Written By" credit of a lot of those videos with Somerton. The way I see it, I find it hard to believe that he couldn't have known. I imagine part of Hergott's signing on with Somerton was that in the event that shit hits the fan, Hergott would be used as a fall guy to help deflect accusations of plagiarism.

To return to Somerton, in a way, he's almost worse than AI/Chat-GPT because, really, an AI has no morals. It can only do what someone punches in and tells it to do. Somerton is a guy who does have genuinely insidious ambitions and knows fully what he's doing. That shit about "only the boring gays who didn't mess around in the eighties survived the aids crisis" is the wildest and grossest accusation I've seen about gay people in some time. The wild takes about the Nazis (especially all the wrong things he said about fitness relating to Nazis) should also raise a lot of red flags. I'll say this though, I don't blame anybody in the slightest for not fully realizing Somerton was saying shit like that or doing all of what he was doing until hbomberguy and Todd presented it a certain way and made it all very clear. It's easy to not notice it when Somerton buries it by ripping stuff off from other, better writers. So, if you were someone who was a big fan and was genuinely shocked by the things Todd had to fact-check and debunk and worried that you're a bad person for having not caught any of them, trust me, you're not. Nobody should blame you for not catching it. <3

While I'm ranting about this, I want to say that Somerton's patreon grift was really gross to see exposed as well (through Dan Olson's really great thread, which can be read here). I understand the allure of wanting to buy expensive gear and thinking that's somehow needed in order to make Good Content™️, but there's a stark difference between someone saying "I think I need to shell out a little money in order to get something of higher quality" and "I need to have the appearance of looking like my stuff is being made with high quality stuff." As someone who has been experimenting with trying to turn his writing into video, I did some audio tests this weekend and realized that maybe (just maybe) the old Turtle Beach microphone my brother left behind when he moved out isn't going to cut it. If I want to record something I can be happy with, I'm gonna have to bite it and look at getting something decent, but somewhat affordable from a Best Buy or something. You don't need the best tech in order to make something great, but you can't use copper tools forever if you have the means to be able to enjoy using iron ones, you know?

Somerton's grift reminded me of guys like Onision and Spoony. Grifters who looked to Patreon and other creator donation sites for an easy pay day and would bitch and cry and complain that it's your fault when they don't get it. Somerton making poor financial choices ON TOP of it being money that he scammed from a community of people that were looking to invest in a voice that they genuinely thought was speaking for them in a meaningful way, only makes the grift more disgusting and foul. Even if he's just "some Youtuber," Somerton still had a responsibility to his audience to present queer topics in an ACCURATE manner. He didn't and we all have the right to be angry with him about it. This isn't just silly youtuber controversy, this is academic dishonesty in it's purest form and if it gets you expelled from any college program, it should get you expelled from being able to show your face on Youtube as well, which is how Somerton's story will end.

I've been on the internet for many years. I've seen some of the worst, most problematic creators of all time find a way to bounce back from all kinds of controversy and find some kind of success again. I don't think that will happen for Somerton. Not one bit. What he's done is something you can never come back from, no matter how much you try to reform. If two different youtubers can make two completely different videos about why you suck, I don't think there's any recovery. What happened this weekend is a now classic episode of World's Most One Sided Fist Fights Caught on Film.

This post has gone on for a while, so let me wrap it up. I mean this without hyperbole and without exaggeration: James Somerton is a disgrace to both media criticism and the art of video creation. I genuinely hope he remains propped up as a cautionary tale of what can happen when you fully decide you have absolutely no respect for the Humanities and decide that lying, cheating, and stealing your way to the top, all while scamming and being incredibly shitty towards a community that has long suffered and is STILL suffering greatly to this day, is better than any kind of academic honesty. I understand that Somerton is just "some youtube fraud" to some people, but the problem lies more in what Somerton's actions and motivations represent. I really think hbomberguy's video on plagiarism is going to do a lot of good. It's going to help a lot of people avoid doing it as well as help people become more aware of what it really looks like and all the damage it can do.

Thank you for your time.

P.S. It doesn't really need to be said at this point, but make sure you support the queer voices and writers that did the work Somerton thought was good enough to just copy and paste into a video. They're the ones that suffered the most through all of this and my heart goes out to them, from one writer to another. <3

A certain mega-narc was noticeably absent from Victoria’s big 50th birthday bash here in London. I wonder if this was a bruise to M’s ego… Any thoughts on this? She basically has paid PR friends who are d-list actresses like herself and its pretty pathetic. I bet Meghan envisioned her life being very different than the sad reality it actually is, as she’s still a massive fraud and a failure, but now on a global scale. I don’t think she will ever get to the crème de la crème of elites that she craves to be like and obsesses over. Even Misha Nonoo married better than poor old Meg. I think Harry is well and truly stuck with her because she will never find anyone as weak or as spineless or as stupid as him. He’s not wealthy enough for her lazy good for nothing ass, but beggars can’t be choosers - and she has been a desperate grifter and beggar all her life. I truly believe this toxic marriage is her ultimate karma and it couldn’t happen to a nicer person.

The Beckhams put a stop to Meghan's PR shenanigans with their family in 2021. The cracks have been there since 2018.

Sometime in late 2017/early 2018, Meghan accused Victoria of leaking about her to the tabloids. Harry called David to confront them about it and there was a row. Supposedly they patched things up and the Beckhams were invited to the wedding. (Revealed in 2022)

Harry asked David to be an ambassador for the Sydney Invictus Games and David agreed. But when the Games were actually taking place, Harry refused to meet, see, or speak to David. It pissed David off and he soured on Harry.

Meghan asked Victoria for free clothes. Victoria declined; she doesn't give freebies. (First revealed in 2019, resurfaced again in 2023.)

Fast forward to 2021 when the Beckhams' son has gotten engaged and they're planning the wedding. Meghan issued several PR stories and a blind item about how the Beckhams are scheduling their son's wedding around the Sussexes' availability.

The 2021 PR manifestation for invites to the Beckham wedding seems to have been the final straw that broke the Beckhams' back. It's pretty plausible, IMO; there haven't been any articles, stories, or blind items about the Sussexes and Beckhams hanging out. In fact, the Beckhams have been pretty solidly aligned with the Waleses since early 2022 and appear to have cut all ties with the Sussexes.

July 2022. David and William do a mental health thing together.

December 2022. David leaves the FIFA Qatar World Cup for a whirlwind trip to Boston to present at Earthshot 2022.

May 2023. David gives King Charles a jar of honey from his bees. (Becks got into beekeeping during the pandemic. It's covered in their documentary.)

July 2023. David and Victoria throw a huge party in Miami to celebrate Messi's first game with the team. All the celebs from LA attend. No Sussexes.

April 2024. Sussexes are in Miami for polo party. No Beckhams. Not even a hint or trace of PR - in the olden days, Meghan would've at least tried to manifest a lunch or cocktails.

And of course, we can't forget David queueing for 12+ hours to pay his respects to The Queen. If that's not a sign to the rest of us that he's exclusively TeamBRF, then I don't know what is.

Eddie Jones

Physique: Heavyset Height: 5'10" (177.5 m)

Arthur Edward Jones (September 18, 1934 – July 6, 2019; aged 84 years) was an American actor. He was known for playing Clark Kent's father Jonathan Kent in the ABC television series Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, and Charles Borden (a.k.a. The Official), head of The Agency, in the sci-fi television series The Invisible Man. He has co-starred or been featured in over 75 films, movies of the week, mini-series and episodic TV. Major films in which he has been featured: Cadillac Man, Seabiscut, A League of Their Own, The Terminal and Return to Me.

With his broad face, imposing presence and solid build, Jones is one of those guys that get better looking with age. I first notice him on Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, but it was his second series, The Invisible Man as The Official where I fell in lust with him.

Jones died on July 6, 2019, at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center after battling his illness. Jones is survived by his wife of 43 years, Anita. They had no children, but he is also survived by his two sisters Elaine and Marilyn, as well as several nieces and nephews.

Empress, welcome back! What do you think of Meghan's new Nigerian Princess title?

I'm thinking the braying laughter of a hundred upper class drawing rooms, upon hearing the news, should have been heard from space - only no one cares about them any longer, not even to laugh at them. But this means the two grifters no longer - never ever - get a single proper dinner invite, right?

The tour was a total Wales cosplay, done badly. But the press is ever ready to sing their praises, and Charles is still ignoring the problem. Meghan's terrible fashion choices are still entertaining, though. Worst dressed celebrity for the last 6 years and counting.

There is no such thing as a Nigerian Princess, since Nigeria as a country doesn't have a monarchy. Although it is true that there are tribes in Nigeria with titles, unless Meghan can prove she descended from a specific tribe in Nigeria the Princess title is meaningless. Not only that, the titles of nobility in Nigeria don't serve a purpose beyond being deeply meaningful to a specific tribe, meaning it's not like the many Kings and Queens serve a constitutional purpose or get to automatically serve as members of the Parliament (e.g. The House of Lords in the UK). Nevertheless the many Kings and Queens within Nigeria serve a very important purpose, which is to preserve the customs and traditions of their respective communities and they take this job very seriously.

"From 1960 to 1963, Nigeria was a sovereign state and an independent constitutional monarchy. Nigeria shared the monarch with Australia, Canada, United Kingdom, and certain other sovereign states. The monarch's constitutional roles were mostly delegated to the governor-general of Nigeria.

Elizabeth II was the only monarch to reign during this period. As such, she was officially titled Queen of Nigeria.

The monarchy was abolished on 1 October 1963, when Nigeria adopted a president as its head of state."

How exactly can Meghan be a Princess when the country itself has no Monarch?

hee hee. piarles + 15 🤭❤️

15. Con Artist and the person who saw through their grift.

'This is the last leg, focus, so all you need to do is-'

"Shut the fuck up," Charles hisses at Lando through his teeth. "I can't be seen talking to myself, and I can't focus with you talking into my - hello, Pierre," he says with a wide smile. He can feel sweat gathering on his forehead, but he refuses to acknowledge it in any way. He's trained himself out of those ticks a long time ago, and the harsh lights and his three-piece ridiculous suit are enough to justify the sweat.

"Hello, cher," Pierre says. He looks lovely, handsome and hot in his tuxedo under the casino lights, like a movie star from those old movies his maman likes to watch. "You look dashing," Pierre continues, and Charles hates the fact that his blush is real and not a ruse. He thanks all the gods no one on his team can see him, because he's sure they'd all know.

"Thank you, Pierre," Charles replies. "Do you want a drink?" He leans back on the bar and gives Pierre his honest, shy smile just as Lando says 'He's so fucking gone on you, it's hillarious'.

Charles is going to punch Lando as soon as the job is done. He sips his martini so as not to grit his teeth. Pierre steps closer to him and Charles can feel the heat of his body as he leans half over Charles to signal the bartender for a drink.

"Of course, Renard," Pierre says. "Do you want a refil?"

Charles does his best not to flinch as he shakes his head. Every time Pierre uses Charles' fake name, Charles wants to scream. It wasn't supposed to be like this. None of this was supposed to be like this.

"Suit yourself," Pierre says. His knuckles brush over Charles' hand and Charles supresses - everything. He's a professional. He can get through this without getting attached.

Liar, he thinks. You stupid, pathetic liar. Get yourself together. Pierre isn't the first pretty mark you've worked with.

He is the first and only one that seems to genuinely care, though, a traitorous thought escapes him. He squashes it with a big sip of his martini.

'I think Ricciardo is on his way,' Lando says. 'Seb will be with you in some ten minutes, and then-'

"My boss is on his way," Pierre says. He's close enough to touch Charles and with the way Charles is leaning against the bar, he's forced to look up at Pierre. "So the contract should be signed very soon."

"Good." Charles makes himself smile. "My boss is on his way too." He raises his glass. "I'll just be glad when it's over."

Pierre taps on his glass. "Hmm," he hums. "Yes, I suppose you will." He clinks his glass to Charles'. "You will be going as soon as we're done?"

Charles swallows around the lump in his throat. "Yes," he says. "I need to oversee the development of the compounds we are building and prepare everything for when Mr. Ricciardo comes for the tour."

Pierre hums again. "Yes, indeed." He looks at Charles, and Charles doesn't know how to interpret that look. It's intense, and it feels like Pierre is searching for something in Charles' face.

Except, you're not Charles, he thinks. You're Renard Deveraux, head architect for the seemingly sustainable water filtering factories in India. You're honest, and outgoing, and you're about to seal the deal that will cost Daniel Ricciardo millions and set you up for the next year so you won't have to work. Seb won't call you last minute because he needs a grifter, and you won't have to work with Lando, and you'll never see Pierre again.

Fuck, Charles thinks just as Sebastian walks up to them with Daniel, both of them laughing. "Gentlemen," Seb says in an exaggerated German accent that isn't that far away from his own accent that comes out when he's roo tired to keep up his accent-less English. "Everything alright here?" His eyes flash in Charles' direction but Charles ignores him. He's fine. Everything's fine.

"Of course, Mr. Schmidt," Pierre says. His hand touches Charles' as he moves a bit. He doesn't move it away. It doesn't even occur to Charles to move at all.

"Please, Pierre, call me Johann," Sebastian says with a wide smile. Charles smiles at Daniel, because he's not Charles who is disgusted with the blatant, dark desire he sees in Ricciardo's eyes. He's Renard, who has been flirting with Daniel since they met. Renard, who allowed Daniel into his personal space and hooked him just enough to make the fake deal that Sebastian came up with for the con a certain success.

Pierre inclines his head. "Of course."

Daniel laughs that uncomfortably loud laugh of his. "Alright, alright, we're all friends here, yes? Now let's go sign the deal and then we can party. Right, Renard?"

Charles smiles and hopes it looks seductive enough. "Of course, Mr. Ricciardo," he chuckles. "But business first."

"Just the way I like it," Sebastian adds, and follows Ricciardo towards his office.

Charles is about to follow them, when Pierre grabs him by the arm. Charles tries to keep his breathing steady as Pierre speaks.

"Renard, I-"

Charles can't - he just can't. He steps closer, all the way into Pierre's space, and leans in.

"It's okay," he murmurs, forces himself to smile. "I'll see you in South Africa in a month, okay?"

Pierre looks at every inch of Charles's face, and Charles is in a full three-piece suit but he's never felt as naked as he does now.

"Yes," Pierre finally speaks slowly, meaningful in some way that evades Charles. "You will."

***

They sign the contract. Daniel transfers the millions into an offshore account Lando had set up. They drink a toast, and as soon as it's possible, Charles and Seb excuse themselves and reaffirm the plans of meeting Ricciardo and Pierre in a month. When they finally say goodbye, Charles forces himself not to look back, deapite being able to feel two pairs of eyes on him the whole time, only one of which didn't make him want to either throw up or take a long shower.

They take a cab to the airport together. When Sebastian opens his mouth in front of the terminal as they're smoking a cigarette, Charles shakes his head. "Don't," he asks. "Just... don't." He inhales deeply, the smoke burning his throat and making him dizzy. "Please, Seb. Just... not now."

Seb doesn't try to speak again. His eyes, when they look at Charles, are uncharacteristically sad. He throws away his cigarette, hugs Charles close for a moment, and leaves without another word.

There is nothing left to say. Charles knows who Seb is thinking of; which mark he's thinking of. Charles was there when they conned... well, no matter. It's history, just like this con will be history.

Just like Pierre will become history. Not the man who listened to Charles talk about architecture like it's the most interesting thing in the world when Charles let his guard down and forgot to be Renard. Not the man who told Charles about his own passion for clothes, and the man who shared Charles' interest in old cars and fast cars. Not the man who looked at Charles like he saw him, saw Charles under all the layers his character demanded. Pierre will not be that man; he'll be just another mark in a list of people that Charles conned out of their money and left behind.

Charles smokes three more cigarettes before he goes inside and buys a one way ticket to Panama under the name Peter Freeman. He vowes to punch Alex the next time he sees him for that little dig, then boards the plane and gets just drunk enough to sleep most of the way to Panama.

***

Panama is beautiful, and warm, and colourful, and Charles hates it.

It's been three weeks of sun and sea and alcohol and beautiful people that wanted Charles. The only problem was that the sun burned Charles' skin, and the sea made him feel sad, and the alcohol didn't tase good, and Charles didn't want all those people.

He was pining, and he was annoyed, and he was bored, and he didn't know what to do or how to get over it.

He's sitting at the beach bar, deciding if another cocktail is worth it, when someone sits on the stool next to him.

"This seat taken?"

Charles turns so quickly, he's pretty sure he pulls a muscle in his neck.

"I - what are you doing here?" is all he can say, because he hasn't been this surprised since that job in Azerbaijan ended up with him and Sebastian having to improvise their way out of a drug kingpin's villa. Maybe not even then. Seb always makes risky plans.

"It took me a while to find you," Pierre says. His sunglasses are perched on his head, and his shirt is unbottoned just enough for Charles to see tha cross glinting in the middle of his chest.

Charles swallows. "How?"

Pierre's eyes twinkle. "You know, before I worked for Ricciardo, I had another employer. Nico Rosberg?" he says, and Charles' eyes widen. "Yes, I thought so." He chuckles. "Anyways, long story short is - I quit my job before Ricciardo realised he signed over fifty million for compounds that don't exist, I called Nico, and then I got out of Italy. The worst part was tracking down Schmidt - I mean, Vettel," he said, and Charles was finding it pretty hard to breathe. "Convincing him to talk to me was even harder, but in the end I managed to convince him to give me your location."

"Seb didn't know -" Charles starts to say, then bites his lip at Pierre's chuckle. "Well. You found me."

"I did."

They stare at each other for a moment, and Charles is pretty sure that it isn't the heat making him uncomfortable. He clears his throat.

"So. What now?" he asks, because he doesn't know what to think, or what to feel. Pierre is standing in front of him, after tracking him down to Panama, and he looks like sin and he doesn't look like he's mad at Charles.

Pierre slides off his chair and steps closer into Charles' space. "Now, well. Everything I have planned requires your explicit consent, actually."

The way his eyes roam over Charles' skin is enough to light a fire inside Charles unlike any he's ever felt. He clears his throat again, then remembers something.

"I - I think I will consent to anything you want," he says, cheeks burning under Pierre's gaze. "But I think you should know, well, you probably guessed, but my name isn't Renard."

Pierre makes a final step and Charles can't move. "Oh, I know. I guessed that a long time ago, and I know you probably want to know everything, how and why and all that, but for now," he raises his hand and trails a finger down Charles' arm, leaving goosebumps on Charles' skin, "I think I'd like to do something I've wanted to do ever since I met you." Pierre raises his gaze to look straight into his eyes. "Charles."

Charles doesn't wait a moment more; he can't. He pushes forward and kisses Pierre with everything he's got, and when Pierre's arms wind around his waist, holding him up, he allowsh himself to smile into the kiss and then deepen it, like he's wanted to ever since he first saw Pierre.

They'll figure it out. Pierre is capable, and Charles... Charles is a grifter. He can figure out anything, and right now, he needs to figure out how to make Pierre make that sound again.

Hello Celta, thank you for your reading today, on Harry and the slaying dragon reference. If there is blame to go around for this I blame all the adults in his life in 1997. Particularly his father. Was he too busy celebrating the end of his ex wife, and plotting how to put the mistress on the throne? Where were the parental figures in his life to insist this child dealt with his trauma? Was he too much hard work? Well compared to the pain and suffering he brought to them 25 years later, it would have been time well spent. And it would have helped heal the cracks in his psych so that no greedy grifter could get through, and use his anger to manipulate him against his family. It would have been been time well spent, Charles, rather than chasing after your mistress. Woulda,coulda, shoulda, there are no more sadder words in the English language. I hope that the Queen she is today makes you, Charles, very, very happy, and it’s worth every single second you spent away from Harry and his grief over his dead mothers twenty six years ago. Hindsight’s a bitch, eh?

Hi AnonymousRetired,

You are welcome for the reading. :)

I don't want to defend anyone who does not deserve it, least of all Charles, but in fairness, for all we know there were responsible adults around Harry at this time (e.g. the house master/mistress at school) who tried to get him to face his grief and/or help him through it, and Harry simply refused to do the work. He made it quite clear in Spare that all he was interested in was numbing the pain (instead of walking through it), and you can't help someone who refuses to do the work on themselves.

It could very well have been a failure of the adults in his life, but it could equally well be Harry refusing to feel even a tiny bit of the pain of his loss and therefore refusing to do anything to heal it.

The natural impulse of us humans is to cry and mourn and heal, so Harry must have put a lot of work into running away from his grief - far more work than it would take to actually process the pain.

In the final tally of things, the fault lies with Harry. He may or may not have had adults around him to help as a child, but he is a grown man now, and the responsibility for dealing with his emotions lies with him and no one else (just like it does for anyone who has had neglectful parents or childhood trauma - there comes a pint where you can't blame other people any more and it is all down to you).

Edited: because I forgot to put in some words!

Tour, rf, weakness

I’m sick and tired of the rf tiptoeing around h and m. No wonder they keep doing this faux tours because the rf is too weak and scared to do or say anything. It’s no wonder the stupid so called tour as welcomed by the Nigerian govt since the rf is so weak.

WELL….., so the Sussex’s Nigerian trip “has left the King and POW absolutely furious”. SOOOOO, what are they going to do about it????? Sit around feeling furious, yet allow these two traitorous morons to continue going rogue, bringing the British Monarchy into the gutter with them? OR….just for once, can a Windsor MALE get off his bum, and do what is right and necessary!! HMTLQ was a QUEEN. She did what was needed without hesitation, put Monarchy before herself. WHY can’t Windsor men be more like her??? WHY are they all so weak????? Anne and her mum have the balls in that family. Windsor men?? All weak as water. No one wants to hear about Charles and William being furious…wanted and needed is to see them TAKE ACTION. Crying and moaning into their Crown Derby teacups whilst watching the Grifters slowly but surely destroying any respect for the British Monarchy is NOT solving anything. Want to play at being King, and King in Waiting??? Get off your backsides and start acting like Kings….do your job. Do your duty. Man up!!

Thank you🙂

finding out that the guy who did charles' portrait is the same guys who did the collage portait of bush out of pornographic magazines makes me very sure he 100% knew what he was doing and he's just an incredibly smooth grifter

Hello!

So, what is your take about the alleged ‘royal racist’, do you think it will have a huge impact/effect on their reputations?

Is the right thing to do is ‘nothing’? And what steps are next?

Honestly, I don't think it's going to impact the royals at all. Their public image and their work is enough of a track record for people to see that Charles and Catherine aren't racist. From what I can see now, people are kind of like "whatever" about the accusation that it was Charles, but people seem VERY pissed that Catherine was dragged into this mess. People love Kate. In 20 years no one has ever had a bad thing to say about her - EXCEPT for Meghan. It seems like Meghan just hates her and has it out for her and is trying everything she can to tear her down. "She made me cry" didn't work, so now she's going for "she's a racist" -- and that didn't work either. What's next?

I wish - I really, really wish - that the palace would do SOMETHING. I'd love to see them sue Scobie and Meghan for every cent they're worth and just rip both of their credibility to shreds. Just expose them both for the pathetic grifters that they are. And make Harry realize what an absolutely colossal mistake he's made. (But also somehow do this without damaging Archie and Lilibet in the process b/c those poor babies do not deserve to be hurt by their parents shitty decisions.)

BUT ... they won't. Maybe Catherine will sue him, but The King won't. In my opinion, The King CAN'T. The monarch cannot go around suing people for starting rumors about him, regardless of how bad those rumors are. He can't be seen impeding free speech in that way, ya know? (I know the UK and the US have differing laws when it comes to free speech, but I think that the monarch has to be held to a different standard to avoid looking like some sort of wanna-be absolute-monarch screaming "off with their heads" ya know?)

Born that way?

Was Hasbeen a delightful, lovely, cheeky chap who got bamboozled by the love bombing of a conniving grifter?

Or was he always an arrogant jerk whose true character has been revealed now that the Palace PR isn't papering over his misdeeds?

According to this anon, it's the latter.

A member of my family runs a charity and has been able to meet Charles, Camilla, Anne, Kate, William and Harry through it. She met Harry pre Meghan and he's the only one she said wasnt a pleasure to talk to, actually quite rude and obnoxious, and nothing like his PR made him out to be. He's always been this way.

…the scalloped trim was to mimic the Spencer Tiara because Meghan planned to wear it for the wedding and by the time she learned she couldn't have it, it was too late…

Well how interesting- is this an etiquette issue- only those of the Ducal family get to wear it, or had Charles Spencer decided she was a grifter and wouldn’t loan it?

Only those of the family get to wear it, or the fiancee of the heir - e.g., Charles Spencer's first wife, Victoria, wore the Spencer Tiara for their wedding.

So if Harry had wanted to wear the Spencer tiara, he probably could've made a legitimate play for it because he's of Spencer blood.

Two things about the Spencer tiara and Meghan, though.

First, the tiara had already been loaned/promised to Celia McQuordale - daughter of Diana's elder sister Sara - whose wedding was less than a month after Harry's. The tiara was probably already being prepped for Celia at the time. (Celia's wedding is the one that Meghan wore the blue print/bedspread dress with the toilet paper fascinator to.)

Second, Meghan wasn't marrying into the Spencer family so it wouldn't have been appropriate for her to have the tiara anyway. She was marrying into the WIndsor family, so etiquette required her to use a Windsor tiara. But Charles doesn't have tiaras because "his" tiaras belong to The Queen, so The Queen loaned Meghan a Windsor tiara.

So even if a Spencer girl hadn't been getting married that summer, I still doubt Meghan would've gotten the Spencer tiara. Protocol, precedent, and etiquette called for a Windsor tara, which the BRF would've insisted on following no matter what. I imagine it'd have boiled down to "Granny's tiara or no tiara," much like the carpet came down to "royal blue carpet or no carpet."

Yesterday we briefly talked about how Meghan was known to be charming towards men. Here's a video I recently watched on YouTube. It's by HG Tudor, and he describes the first time he met meghan, in 2016, and what he thought of her at the time.

https://youtu.be/Norru-2HByk

(hope the link works here. There's a series of about 8 videos, and there's more to come)

This first meetingwas in 2016 pre-harry. She was still looking for British men to date and in this video HG describes how he met her at a famous bar frequented by posh celeb and artsy types. She was with another lady journalist friend of hers who was a mutual aquaintance with Hg. And Meghan was quite keen on being set up with him. But her fake persona put him off.

HG is a self confessed narcissistic, who has never revealed his real identity to the public. So make of this video what you wish, but whats interesting to me is-

- the fake, over confident way she puts on her femme fatale persona.

- the vocal fry, which I'm assuming is her version of a low, deep, sexy but uncaring voice.

- how fixated she seemed with her suits character and her monologues about Rachel Zane's fashion.

- her utter desperation at being introduced to HG and if he wasn't interested, then to get an intro to 3/4 friends of his.

- the strange hold she has on their mutual friend Suzanna, who is acting as her match maker.

- the way she gets touchy feely with someone she is trying to seduce.

- how she fake laughs, and uses exaggerated hand gestures to attract attention of this random man (HG) from across the room once she decided that she wanted to get to know him/his circle.

I'm now guessing that she was like this towards most men she met with, if she decided she wanted to impress them. William, Charles, Harry obviously, Jason knauf, prince Phillip maybe. And this demeaner is very obvious to someone like William (or Charles and Phillip) who has been trained his whole life to spot a grifter. Or rather, someone who has been warned his whole life to stay away from spongers and users.

That's why William, even Catherine and the queen could see through her. Harry, who had his own agendas, didn't care.

If listened

There were times she was making eyes at William. In public. It was obvious that she wanted his attention. Even more obvious she hated Catherine because of William.

Thanks for the link! I am going to watch these tonight.

Harry must be Dorothy, because AFRICA is his TOTO

So, it's running on Radar Online and OK Mag now that separation is happening. How true is it?

I have no idea. Neither can my source give me anything other than the following:

Charles is still funding Harry at the expense of saving face. He wants H away from Meghan, and there is talks in upper ladder rungs that there is a potential deal where MM stays in Hollywood.

They do not want H back, at all. Charles wants to control H's trapper keeper, and he wants that ginger mutt muzzled, so chances are the ideal sweetheart deal will be what we've seen being floated.

Meghan gets a sum, but not so substantial as many think. That comes with the proper agreements so that she behaves. My source told me a Fergie deal would likely never happen...

Charles cares about number uno, and my source is right in the point MM would never agree to behind-palace doors again. She wants to be seen.

If the rumors are true from what I am hearing and what I am seeing, coupled with what I was told...

Harry will go to Africa to live out his Commonwealth days as quietly as possible. Meghan will remain in the US to pursue being a star under terms and conditions.

Oh, and those rumors of Haz calling Wills... don't buy it. Haz may be speaking with the people that answer the calls, but he's not getting through to his brother.

The DM reported that Wills will be charging Charles rent whenever he comes to visit one of the Duchy of Cornwall cottages he bought that stayed with the Duchy... Charles isn't too happy. If Wills can charge the king rent, you bet he can ignore his petulent brother.

Also, rumors are that the super-injunction on the children is as permanent as permanent could be. No budging on that. No leaks from that end. Nobody wants that out, and I will save what "it" is out for sake of getting too personal.

Let's just say all of this is adding up to a stressful start to a hard reign, and Charles cares more about his reign than his red-head. He will support them because he cannot have the monarch's second son being labeled a grifter dying for freebies. How does that make them all look?

Harry won't be missing any rains in Africa. Meghan won't be going to film with him, either. Netflix didn't axe them like Spotify, as Harry has a documentary to do for them in Africa.

If there is a deal on the table, and this is ever going to happen, it is only because Charles is doing it to nip everything in the bud to save his own precious reputation.

And rumors are, Charles will do that at any expense. Even if letters patents are involved for certain situations that may or may not be related to anything to do, OR NOT do, with H&M.

Africa bound... Harry Alone in the Bush. Meghan may even get to be the next Bachelorette!

How exciting.

Again... ALL OF THIS IS SPECULATION AND HERESAY, as I am a gossip, and I don't know what I am talking about. Take it with a grain of royal salt. I am but a lowly rodent who has a knack for smelling out the cheese... and the rats.

P.S. I love every single one of you, and I appreciate your time!

P.P.S. I also appreciate my source, and I am committed to full anonymity. I've been specifically vague, hoping you could draw the lines, in order to protect their identity.

Do you know how for years no one had any idea about Harry's true nature because of the Palace protecting him? Same for Charles. The man has an ego the size of the Sun, he simply has always had a huge staff to manage his image.

As someone who has been watching this shitshow for many decades now (yikes!), I can say that it is very gratifying to see more come out about Charles' true nature. I think people like me have been out there forever - I mean, his poll numbers have always been in the toilet - but I can understand why royal watchers have been snowed by him - AND why some bought into the whole Camilla PR campaign.

Harry, though. Because I have always been a Diana fan, Harry was a hard one. I could see that the boys were VERY different. Every time Harry showed his true colors, I knew he was an asshole, but I just didn't want to accept that he was as big an asshole as he is. I thought of him as a dumb boy who never recovered from his mother's death. It's been a shock to me, all these years later, how exactly like his father he is. William lost his mother, too, and he isn't narcissistic grifter. William is, I think, like his mother and his grandfather, with a bit of the Queen thrown in. Harry is a carbon copy of his father. I can't even say his mental illness is from Diana. She was living in entirely different circumstances. She was hardly coddled. I think you're dead on about the Palace managing his image.

I am not easily snowed and I was a bit snowed by Harry. I started to see the light the minute that actress I didn't like from that show I did like was suddenly in the papers claiming paps were stalking her. A lightbulb went off immediately and the pieces fell into place. H is C's twin. Right down to marrying, the first his first time and the second his second time, the exact same woman. Although I have to say that the second wife at least knows how to stick to a plan to see it through to the end. Ugly, diabolical plan for sure, but she stuck to it and is now showing her true colors.

Well, that was a lot of blathering. I didn't mean to say that much! Ha

I don't mind admitting it, Camilla's PR had me fooled. Plus I was so fixated on The Harkles that I didn't pay attention to the machinations of The Chuckles. Better late than never I guess.
