Here we go again…

Foreign princes should 👏 not 👏 be awarding, recognizing, or honoring American soldiers while wearing the medals of foreign military.

I don’t care if you are real friends or fake friends. Stop using your foreign military status to get in with our military. If you want this military influencer role so badly, learn our uniform code and do what our veterans do instead of using our warfighters to soothe your bitter fragile “I’m still a soldier just like you even though they stole my uniform from me” ego.

I just realized the post got cut off. Here’s what I meant to say:

Or did Harry promise Meghan too much based on his childhood’s expectation of “what Willy gets, I get”?

The truth is probably somewhere in the middle - William and KP were meant to continue representing the Sussexes in some fashion and Harry and Meghan thought that meant they were getting some kind of money from the Duchy of Cornwall, not fully understanding (or ignoring or not caring) how these things actually work.

And I suspect that had Meghan not…meghanned, things would’ve been very different in terms of the Cambridge/Sussex dynamics and how KP worked. My sense is that kicking Harry out of KP and forcing him to work out of BP like the rest of the family wasn’t an option until Meghan’s masks began slipping and she began conducting her reign of terror. Had Meghan been more like the PR version she pretended she was in 2016, or heck even more Rachel-from-Suits, she probably could’ve gotten a pretty nice chunk of the Lancaster money to live off.

I’d love to hear your take on the rumour that Meghan wanted to sue for/believed the Duchy of Cornwall should be split 50/50 between the brothers and whether you believe there was any truth in it?

Initially I thought no one is this delulu but now I am not so sure…

So one of the things I’ve learned in tracking/following BRF rumors is that most of them have some truth to them. To me, that’s what makes this fun; digging as deep as I can to find out what that little modicum of truth is that makes it seem plausible.

I don’t know that the rumor Meghan wanted to sue for 50% of the Duchy of Cornwall is legit. For one, no lawyer (in their right mind) would take that case because it’s pretty settled in the law how succession and inheritance works. But never say never, right, because there’s always an ambulance chaser sniffing around. (That’s why Shakespeare said we need to kill all the lawyers first.)

But there are three things I see as being behind her (and Harry’s) belief that the Sussexes would get a cut of the Cornwall money.

One - Inheritance vs Succession

I do think she, and Harry, believed that they could get some kind of money from the Duchy of Cornwall because they probably saw it more as an inheritance, rather than succession. So usually with an inheritance, it’s split between children/relatives, so Meghan probably assumed that Cornwall would be split between William and Harry because it’s Charles giving away an inheritance versus laws about succession. (I’m not sure if that makes sense. I don’t really know how else to explain what I’m thinking about that.)

But it goes back to Diana’s insistence that the brothers be raised equally, and at some point there was probably a conversation or two where “everything William gets, Harry gets” implanted in Harry’s brain and he has really taken that to heart over the years, probably spurred on by Meghan’s own ambitions of “everything Kate gets, I should have too.”

Two - Magnificent Six

Charles’s ‘Magnificent Six’ plan/vision kicked off in 2012 with the jubilee - that the future of the monarchy was Charles, William, and Harry and their wives. William and Kate would focus more on the UK and Harry and his future wife would focus more on the Commonwealth. I feel pretty confident that those discussions Charles was having with his sons and the courtiers at that time would have included some kind of discussion about the finances and how the Commonwealth work would be funded. Maybe during those discussions something came up like because Harry + Future Wife would live at Kensington Palace alongside William and Kate, it made sense that his work would continue to be represented by Kensington Palace instead of being shifted over to Buckingham Palace so maybe there was some kind of deal that a portion of the Cornwall money would continue being allocated to Harry because if the arrangement worked, why break it?

(Remember, back when these discussions were taking place, 2009ish - 2013ish, Meghan wasn’t anywhere close to the picture so there probably were a lot of things promised to Harry, or that Harry expected, that were ultimately taken away when he did marry and Meghan did join the family because of attitude/behavior issues affecting the monarchy’s overall reputation and representation.)

Three - General Not Understanding of These Things

Look, neither Meghan nor Harry are details people. So chances are extraordinarily high that they never bothered to actually read the papers or understand the laws about how the titles, succession, transition, and accession actually worked. They just assumed that everything would stay the same or that they would also get Wales titles too. And we know that’s what they assumed because of all the PR the Sussexes kept putting out in the second half of 2022; stories about how they wanted to start using “Prince Harry and Princess Meghan of Wales” titles - someone out there in Montecito thought that “of Wales” meant children of the monarch, not that it was its own separate title/position.

And I wouldn’t be surprised if that lack of understanding (or sheer ignorance) also came with a heavy delusion that “inheriting” Charles’s “of Wales” surname also came with “inheriting” Charles’s money too.

So I guess long story short, the delusion is rooted in reality. It’s just a matter of figuring out what reality it is. Was there legitimately a plan for William to continue supporting Harry’s office post-accession with Cornwall money the same way Charles supported both of the sons with Cornwall money? Or did Harry promise

The thing is while Philip and Elizabeth were in a happy relationship, Charles and Diana were not. Elizabeth was monarch & Philip was the consort and it’s known that they hated that when Elizabeth’s father died that it meant they’d not be able to raise their children how they envisioned & life at Clarence House with them.

Charles was a post war baby boom baby in 1948, and child rearing especially with boys was much different than what it is now and while Charles loved the outdoors and the wilderness, he didn’t like it for sports like Philip, he loved the nature etc.

Diana was insistent on William and Harry always being treated the same and pushed them to go to Eton like her family had done for generations - just like Philip did having Charles go to Gordonstoun.

The thing is that boarding school helped an exiled prince like Philip find a home whether at Salem Schloss or Gordonstoun and helped him become who he was. Eton however seems to be a school that has boys graduating who are not emotionally stable or are easily manipulated.

William had the weekly meetings with the Queen and Queen Mother which seemed to have helped. Boarding school isn’t something I see in the future of the Wales kids and I think it’s why they moved to Berkshire and so did Pippa & James with their families so they could be there for the Wales kids alongside Carole & Michael when William & Catherine are away.

The quality of the marriages doesn't matter. Nor does it matter what generations or times someone was born and lived in or where they live now or what their interests were or what the parenting philosophy of the day was.

The crux of the issue here is that Charles complained about his parents in a very specific way. Then he turned around and behaved in a very similar manner towards his own children, according to the complaints of an aggreived child. The who, what, where, when, why, how details of it doesn't matter.

What does matter is that someone had complaints. They said "my children will be treated better" and they weren't. They were given different opportunities, but the result is the same: the child is unhappy because the parent did what was best for the parent because of the broader family's expectations, not the child. And we see now for the second time - for the third generation - the same thing happening in the Sussex family.

That's where William appears to be breaking the curse. He's prioritizing his children's needs over the parents'' requirements and extended family's expectations. Will it work, though?

Honestly though - you can't pin the boys going to Eton exclusively on Diana. Charles had an equal say in it. He wanted the boys to go to Eton too because it's where he had wanted to go to school.

"I bet, given the choice himself, Harry would have chosen Gordonstoun over Eton" Ehhh, in hindsight that's probably true. But at the time, would he have known any better? He would have been told "Your brother will be there, granny and grandpa are just down the road" etc., not "Hey, you're several degrees stupider than even the most privileged inbred first year currently attending and you're being set up for failure."

I get your point but that's a little extreme of an example. No one's going to a 12 year old who just lost his mother and saying "hey halfwit, you're not good enough for Eton so you're going to Scotland with the rest of the idiots." They're saying something more like "XXXX school is better for sporty outdoorsy kids like you that want to be in the military. Want to give it a go? If you don't like it, you can come to Eton next term."

It was pretty well-known when Harry was a kid that he wasn't academically-minded. Diana even famously said he was "thick like me," so everyone likely knew he wasn't going to succeed at Eton and would have been better off somewhere else. But then Diana died and they didn't know what to do so they stuck Harry at Eton because she wanted the boys to be treated equally.

(And frankly, if anyone ever wondered what the difference between equality and equity is, this is it; sending Harry to Eton to be equal to William even though it wasn't "his" environment. The equitable option is sending Harry to his "own" school, a place where he could've thrived without being second or the little brother or not invited to tea at Granny's down the road.)

But, like you said. Woulda coulda shoulda.

We can armchair-psychoanalyze the situation all we want but at the end of the day, all we can do is sit back and watch Harry perpetuate the same "genetic trauma" he thinks he's fixing.

How could Invictus/St. Paul's change the circumstances of the event to force RAVEC to reconsider the security level for Harold? Invite more big wigs?

A number of things come to mind:

Reschedule the event.

Work harder to get the senior goverment officials and members of the royal family to attend.

Play the PR game Harry wants them to by planting articles about how they can't hold the event without Harry being there and the security concerns are insurmountable.

Make up a security incident that would justify escalating Harry's protection detail.

Cough up the money themselves to pay for the full protection detail Harry wants from RAVEC.

1 and 2 go hand-in-hand. Currently the service is taking place at the same time as a Buckingham Palace garden party, which most of the senior royals do attend regularly. If they reschedule the service, the chances of a "bigger" senior royal attending - and with that comes the whole MOD apparatus - improve.

My central thesis has always been that the Harkles wanted everything the Wales have and more. I know I remember reading that she cried after hearing William was made Prince of Wales. Right from the get go, her PR was all "Meghan is way better suited to be royal". Then there were all the Commonwealth flowers on her bridal veil and their insistence that they move into Windsor Castle. Now I don't believe everthing Neil Sean says, but his latest video mentions that Megxit was an ultimatum to get Windsor. As that is the traditional home of the Monarch, I feel as though they were attempting a coup.

Then there is the thought that Harry believes that the Dutchy of Cornwall should be split and he should eventually be made co-King or King of the Commonwealth. Let the Wales have that tiny island while they are jetted and feted around the world.

Here's my question for you. Did Meghan and Sparry REALLY believe they could leapfrog over the Wales??? I know her jealousy and envy of Catherine is bunny boiler level and he absolutely eviscerated his brother in Waagh. Has this been their plan all along?? Death by a thousand cuts for the Wales to force them to resign their place in the LOS or that they could somehow convince Charles to make Harry the heir??

I'd like to know where you think the delusions stem from. It wouldn't be the first time in history that younger brother has attempted to remove old brother from the throne.

Sincerely appreciate your blog and all the work you put into it. I'm always learning something new.

I'm pretty sure that was exactly their plan: they wanted to use their popularity to force The Queen to name them as her successors. I don't remember where I read this or when, but allegedly Harry sent "documentation" to someone - to whom specifically I can't recall, but options are The Queen, Charles, William, and/or grey suits - providing evidence for claims that he and Meghan were more popular than any of the others and deserved more than what they were getting.

And if they couldn't get the actual crown, they were going to do their damnedest to try and get a co-kingship with William. That's where Meghan's obsession with the Commonwealth came from; she had been told (again, I don't know by whom - all signs point to Harry exaggerating to keep her interested or maybe Charles spitballing ideas during his 'Magnificent Six' planning circa 2012) that William would rule Britannia and Harry would rule the Commonwealth.

I think that's why Meghan went all in on 'racist Kate.' Not only did she want to knock Kate out of the spotlight, she wanted to do enough damage that Commonwealth/realm nations would threaten to quit and The Queen would capitulate by offering to install Harry and Meghan as new leaders. This actually had a chance of working; it's been said quite often during her last years and since her passing that The Queen saw the Commonwealth as her greatest legacy and there was speculation that she would have done anything she could have to keep it in tact. And had Meghan played her cards right, she and Harry probably could have ended up becoming the main ambassadors of and for the Commonwealth, like a Commonwealth version of the UN Secretary-General.

But where the plan failed, obviously, was that it required blaming Kate for problems and issues that don't exist. Because remember, in 2021 when Meghan was making these claims, we'd just gone through the huge global reckoning that was Black Lives Matter and the agreement during/after BLM was "call racist people out on their BS. Put them on blast. Don't let them get away with it anymore." So not only would Meghan have been perfectly justified to name names, cite events, bring receipits, air the real dirty laundry and everyone would've been so much more supportive of it. But she didn't. Instead she played coy and said something like "I'm protecting them even though they don't deserve it."

Girl, please. That was Meghan's one chance to go justifiably scorched earth and air out all the dirty laundry and she fumbled hard.

Anyway. Let's get this train back on track. Where do the delusions come from? Traumatic childhoods courtesy of Mommies Dearest.

We all know Harry's story with Diana. She was a young, fun, free spirited loving mom larger than life with a neediness that she depended on her children to fill, rather than her own husband or other adults her age, so Harry grew to find satisfaction in supporting and providing her what she needed. He probably saw, and understood, the way Diana received what she wanted by exaggerating what she needed and following it up with excluding or isolating herself until whoever came chasing after her to give her what she wanted. And ultimately this led her (and Harry) down a path that ended up killing her; she exaggerated the relationship with Dodi to get attention from Hasnat or the BRF, then isolated herself in France to force whoever (Hasnat? Charles Wales? Charles Spencer?) to come chase after her. We know how that ends.

That's where Harry's delusions, IMO, come from. He saw how it well it worked (mostly) for Diana - exaggerate her needs/wants, then run and hide until she gets it - so he does it too. He probably started doing it right after she died, when no one knew what to do or how to handle him so they kept indulging in everything he wanted, so those wants kept manifesting bigger and bigger. And I think the way we see the BRF treating Harry is what would have happened to Diana had she lived; eventually the public would sour on her (this was already happening, by the way), which would then enable the BRF to grey rock her, devenomizing her in effect, and move on without Diana having too much of an influence on their day-to-day.

It's sort of similar for Meghan. We don't know specifically what happened (the way we do with Harry and Diana), but we know that Doria was a young, fun, free-spirited mother herself married to an older husband who had other priorities (eg kids from his first marriage). Unlike Diana, Doria probably didn't want the responsibilities of motherhood (which is the vibe Meghan and Thomas have given about Doria during Meghan's childhood) and left. And like the BRF, Thomas may have also overcompensated Doria's absence in Meghan's life by giving her everything she asked for, which made her asks get bigger and bigger and when Thomas couldn't deliver, she threatened to leave him...like Doria did and Thomas, erstwhile girldad he was, just kept throwing more and more at Meghan to keep her happy. Her delusions come from preying on other individuals' trauma to ensure she gets what she wants. The bigger her wants (ie the more grandiose her delusions), the harder she manipulates other people's trauma to make sure she gets what she wants. Which is kinda the opposite of Harry and Diana; they create the trauma to get people to do what they want, whereas Meghan exploits it to get people to do what she wants. Both are skills they learned after being abandoned (metaphorically and literally) by their mothers.

And all of Meghan's PR about "young mother," I think it's more insidious than that. Yes, it's a very overt evocation of Diana's narrative. Yes, it's a judgement against Kate. But it is also digs at Doria. "See? Motherhood is hard but I'm prioritizing my kid. How dare you to have left me" kind of spiteful digs meant to shame her for whatever happened that caused her to disappear. Meghan is the kind of person who must always have the last word, so I wouldn't be surprised if she's been targeting or belitting Doria about not knowing certain things about Archie/Lili because she wasn't around when Meghan was that age.

So...yeah.

I've realized now that this is the third or fourth Wednesday in a row that I write these super long analytical/in this essay I will posts. I guess Wednesdays are my thinking days...

https://www.gbnews.com/royal/kate-middleton-prince-louis-birthday-picture-royal-family-news

“The couple eventually posted a new photograph in the afternoon, despite having traditionally provided it to the press under an embargo the day before.”

I’m new to the whole process of how the birthday pictures are shared, but from the online articles (especially the above one), it seems to me that the Wales’ circumvented providing it directly to the press this time and only published the picture themselves on social media. If so, good for them!

Hopefully, the media has FAFO’d. And GB News may be salty, but they have no one to blame but themselves.

So how the birthday photos work is that usually the afternoon before a birthday (or a milestone anniversary or a new baby photo), William and Kate will send the picture out to the newspapers/photo agencies/media organizations with an embargo not to release before a certain time. This "certain time" has traditionally been around 10pm London time, which is usually when the UK morning newspapers "go to bed" - i.e., the layout/content is finalized and sent to the printers and the electronic copies are published to the internet/posted on social media.

Because of the time difference (10pm London is 5pm East Coast and 2pm West Coast), American social media tends to make the new pictures go viral on our side of the internet while the rest of the world is asleep. This is why you may have seen some American blogs cheering on Monday afternoon - the UK papers went to print without new photos of Louis for his birthday on the Tuesday front pages.

So then on the day of the actual birthday/anniversary, Kensington Palace will post their "Happy birthday to Kiddo" message with their original photo first thing in the morning to coincide with the locals waking up/reading their morning news. A few hours later, usually around their lunchtime/early afternoon, Kensington Palace does a "thank you for the happy messages" post with a second photo.

What happened this week with Louis's birthday is that Kensingon Palace did not provide the newspapers, photo agencies, media orgs with a new photo of Louis for his birthday. According to Rebecca English, this is because William and Kate didn't want to share photos because either a) it felt hypocritical after spending January through March begging for privacy or b) how the press treated them over the Mother's Day photo and Kate's video message.

But something happened, William and Kate changed their minds about not sharing the photo and decided to post one anyway. They posted the new photo straight to their own social media first, before then sending it out to the news and media organizations.

Why they changed their minds, we don't know. Maybe their office got too many phone calls about it. Maybe their staff reported on all the social media tributes. Maybe there was a ton of mail/birthday cards delivered for Louis. We know that they probably intended to share new photos. You don't have a photoshoot with young kids for the heck of it. My theory is they did the photos, someone got cold feet about sharing photos after what happened last month, and they were on the fence about it until they saw the genuine love, support, and appreciation for Louis (and the family) from the general public.

I'd like to see this being the new MO going forward - pictures released exclusively to their social media first, then circulated to the media (or forcing the media to use the social media copy exclusively). We won't really know till Charlotte's birthday next week if this was a one-off or truly a change in how they handle the media.

On that note...I do kinda feel like we might be getting an anniversary picture this year. With Kate's health issues, they may feel like an anniversary picture would comfort people who are worried about her, and it may be how they thank the public for their support and well wishes. Of course, the caveat being that Kate has felt well enough to be photographed/appear on camera.

“This time he’s threatening to cancel his appearance if he doesn’t get full security protection.”

Thank you for posting the link.

Having read the article carefully I cannot decide if HE has announced to Invictus Games that he will be video streaming, as he did for the Diana Awards or if THEY have told him they prefer a video stream - in advance to the UK franchising the Games between 2025-7 (as Germany has just done) or if it’s a blackmail attempt for RAVEC.

My gut feeling is that Harry demanded to do a virtual appearance if they don't give him the full RPO detail he's requiring. He wants to be seen as important as William, and William has done the video appearances when he can't be there.

Another thing that William does, which I can see Harry trying to do as well, is deputize one of the cousins or a fellow government official to attend events in his place. Some recent instances - when William deputized Lady Gabriella to attend King Constantine's funeral on his behalf and when he asked Jacinda Ardern to speak at the UN for Earthshot immediately after The Queen died.

I can see Harry wanting to deputize Eugenie for this, or maybe he'll try to get back on the Beckhams' good side by asking them to do this.

I'm also fairly certain this isn't an ultimatum for RAVEC. This is a threat to St. Paul's Cathedral and Invictus Games, where he's telling them "YOU leaked this information, YOU need to fix this so I can attend. You can reschedule it, let me Skype in, or pay me my security."

RAVEC doesn't give a hoot about what Harry wants or what he's trying to extort out of them. Their stance, backed by the courts, is very clear: Harry doesn't get Category 1 protection like heads of state and their immediate families. He gets Category 2 protection like deputy assistant secretaries. They're not budging. Harry knows they're not budging. He's going after Invictus Games and St. Paul's with this because they can change the circumstances that could force RAVEC to re-evaluate. (I hope that makes sense - what this story reads like to me is Harry complaining to Dad that Mom said 'no' and hoping Dad does X so Mom has to say 'yes'.)

Hi Rumor. I'm always surprised to see his level of disillusionment. He thinks he knows better than experts (Ravec and Met) regarding the level of security he should have. I mean Ravec and Met are professionals with good intel not amateurs. He's throwing another tantrum with this blackmail : either you give me what I want or I'm not coming and it'll be your fault. Of course, it's always someone else fault (insert any eyeroll gif)

Just a bit of semantics - what Harry is doing isn't blackmail. He's issued an ultimatum: give me what I want or I won't come.

Blackmail is "do what I say or I'll publish these letters you wrote to Meghan talking about how even though your wife said these racist things, she's not really racist, she's just from a different generation."

In Harry's case (and Meghan's too), it all goes back to their entitlement. Their delusions and disillusions is rooted in entitlement born by childhood privilege; Meghan's was from a father that spoiled her rotten (literally - 'no' was never in Thomas's vocabulary, it seems) and Harry's was from a mother that spoiled him rotten and a father in way over his head when said mother died.

Which is a bit funny (or sad) when you really think about it. Charles has been very clear that he wished his parents were more supportive and more in tune with what he wanted/needed as a child instead of doing what they wanted. And yet when he became a father and promised to do better, he didn't. He did the same things to William and Harry that Philip and Elizabeth did to him; he prioritized what he wanted or what he thought the boys wanted instead of what they needed or asking them directly. I bet, given the choice himself, Harry would have chosen Gordonstoun over Eton and everything would have been very different.

Did you read The Times article from April 20th, that said Camilla has totally cut off Eug and Bea because she thinks they are Sussex spies??!!

Wtf 😅

Pretty bold of The Times to so openly attribute this sentiment to the Queen. And then to go on to say that the two have been consistently leaking sensitive info to the couple and so the it's upto Camilla to safeguard the sanctity of the institution.

I'm wondering if this is Camilla clapbackto Andrew and Sarah trying to crawl their way back in using their daughters.

Is Camilla using the ultimate weapon - Public outcry - to put Andrew and Sarah in their place? Surely Eug and Bea can't be that bad!

I know Eug seems totally sympathetic towards Harry, and frankly it's been cringe to witness that, but Bea IMO hasnt shown any affiny towards Harry or Meghan since 2018. And certainly not after she herself got married.

That being said, for someone so quiet and lowkey, Bea sure seems to get dragged into a lot of York stupidies -

- Andy's infamous BBC interview.

- Her sweet 16 or 18th princess themed party to which Epstein and Maxwell were invited.

- And now these Sussex spy allegations.

I saw it. Didn’t read it. It’s not the “real” Times newspaper - it’s The Business Times, a Chinese digital media organization focusing on business, politics, and tech news in China.

The Camilla v Yorkies story is sourced from the Globe, a tabloid publication like the National Enquirer. I don’t give it any credit. Camilla doesn’t give a shit about the Yorkies - she skipped both sisters’ weddings. That’s not someone who has a vendetta to ice them out and cut them off; it’s someone who couldn’t care less about them and using her husband’s dead ex-wife as an excuse to hide her disinterest. (Camilla didn’t go to Eugenie’s wedding because of a previously-scheduled appearance and when everyone went “wtf,” Camilla’s friends hinted that the real reason she skipped the wedding was because Diana was close to the Yorks and she didn’t want to make them uncomfortable, so she stayed away out of respect to Diana’s memory. Yeah, the face you’re making right now is the same face we all made 6 years ago.)

Sorry to burst your bubble, anon. This isn’t the story you think it is. It’s a busybody making up drama because nothing else is happening.

Harry’s leaking to the Express again, this time doubling-down on last month’s security concerns about the Invictus Games’s service.

This time he’s threatening to cancel his appearance if he doesn’t get full security protection.

Hello RTA! I subscribe to a bunch of email newsletters for work and this was in today’s edition of the “Morning Brew” (talks about current events / trends / marketing). Here’s what is said about ARO: “ROYAL JAM: American Riviera Orchard has its first product: fancy, small-batch jam. Meghan Markle is planning to officially launch the brand later this spring, and everyone is too afraid to make fun of it after what happened last time.” Two things struck me 1) industry thinks her launch is a joke 2) they’re afraid of Princess Catherine type reveal so they’re holding back. What do you think? Does most of the industry think her brand is a joke?

1) industry thinks knows her launch is a joke

Everything Meghan has done to launch ARO/Roop is exactly the opposite of what the experts say to do. She launched without a product. She launched product without an inventory. Her marketing depends on contractual favors from "friends" using Instagram stories to skirt sponcon/product placement rules.

Of course they're laughing at her.

I'm not on IG so I don't know if you can comment on reels. Could that be why most of her contacts posted that way instead of a regular post? Have there been negative IG comments or has she become so boring that even the haters don't care much anymore?

Also I would like Melissa McCartney to explain in what way she thinks Meggers has been successful.

You can comment on reels/stories. They aren't publicly visible the way they are on posts.

Most people use stories because the content expires/gets taken down after 24 hours. It doesn't stick around forever, the way a post does.
