The British Royal Family

Anything Samantha says I take with a very small grain of salt. MOO IMO

how does Samantha know anything? She has no relationship with Meghan and I don’t think she ever did, did she?

she has a very sad life IMO so it is an easy way for her to make money. Sell some bs

 

[Oregonmama]

Not buying it for one second. Nope. She's not walking anywhere that hasn't been pre-searched. No way. That's not how it works. Especially in the woods with Archie. jmo

She is playing with fire and perhaps she should have taken more guidance from the RF and how they deal with the paps... jmo, moo or imo

There are many pics of mm and her online.

I don't think two guys walking with her can pre-search the entire route, go back to the beginning of the path and walk with her and know for a fact that the paparazzi won't congregate at the end of the path, hiding in bushes, while M and the bodyguards are walking the length of the path. Pre-searching things are limited to major public events where dozens of police search, and take bomb-sniffing dogs around. I don't think it's realistic for two guys to do that before a walk in a park.

The bodyguards are there more in case someone comes up close and needs physically keeping back, or if they see a sign of a shooter and then they throw down and attempt to cover the person who they're being paid to protect and call police.

There's way more than two security guards assigned to her. And this is a path in a relatively remote area. There's not a good place for a bunch of photographers and their vehicles to "blend in." It defies all logic, imo, to think that these photos were not planned. Even if I liked Markle, which I definitely don't lol, I couldn't convince myself otherwise. It just seems beyond obvious to me. Agree to disagree

I think she's not happy about the "how to carry your baby" comments.

I think I read early in they had been estranged for 10 yrs.

You would think she would appreciate words of wisdom from other mons instead of taking a negative spin on it. All moms give advice to each other...perhaps she should join a mommy grp....jmo

Yikes... this would spoil the Super Bowl ads..... a British man endorsing American property taxes would a huge blow to him
..jmo, moo or imo

she is way older and they never lived together nor did they live by each other for years.

 

[Bravo]

Yep 10 years
Meghan Markle’s estranged sister Samantha TO END feud by buying gifts for baby Archie?

I do get to see lives of some rich and famous because of where I live. And I hear about the lives of rich and famous.

They have multiple homes and allow friends to live in a home for years. There is nothing unusual about that as far as I have seen.

My guess is they know the address of the mansion and have staked it out so that when her vehicle leaves they follow ? And then when they park and get out they see this and do the same ? Maybe one or two runs ahead to get the face shots? I watched the documentary about Diana in her own words and I was shocked at the lengths the photographers went to -
I think she wants to look like she’s a normal mom walking her dogs with her baby - but I think it was set up For them to get these pics

Archie is about 8 months old, if I recall. She should be pushing a stroller.

I shouldn’t presume about the rest of you, but I have zero interaction with any Royals, so far.

They were of interest, but they were like characters in a book to me. No way to relate to such a life.

Then Diana gave that interview. It was so powerful and I saw her as a real person. I think that is one big reason that people saw her as the people’s princess.

Same with Harry for me. He is a real human being not a wax figure

This is something I was going to ask before all this recent stuff blew up.

I remember seeing the Queen when I was about 4 or so, a really hot summer in '76, and the Queen was opening a leisure center/community centre about a mile from where we lived. So my mum walked me over to that so that I could see the Queen. The most memorable part of it for me was that it was such a hot summer that the path melted in places and my mum's sandal got stuck in the horrible melted asphalt-type surface, so she had to buy a new pair of sandals when we got there!

Then I remember, my dad worked on the railway so got us platform tickets so I could see the Queen (I was probably about five, which would have been 1977 the year of the Queen's Silver Jubilee) when she stopped off at our local train station...she was probably traveling in the Royal Train.

I don't have a strong recollection of actually seeing the Queen at these events, but those and all the events we did in school in 1977 (colouring in Union Flags etc) gave me a sense of how awesome the Queen was to our country.

I think the only time since then, was when I was about 20 and I was in town and saw police blocking off a street, and it turned out that Prince Charles was in town to open a 'green' centre that did things like energy reduction surveys for homes to help people save electricity and energy. I was really shocked when the police started blocking off the street and heard the rumours around me that it was Prince Charles in town!

I met a couple from Canada who said that Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip spent years staying for two weeks at Jasper Lodge. No one knew it. It was kept quiet.

They said Canadians aren’t big into celebrity stuff. Of course, pics of Harry and Meghan will bring huge money on the worldwide market.

And so much for Meghan wanting attention. The pap had to hide in the bushes and H and M have issued a warning.

It worked for Kate and William about the topless photos and the warning about taking photos of George, IMO.H and M have that trail blazed by Kate and Wlliam

‘An easy choice’: B.C. charter turns down paparazzi seeking photos of Harry and Meghan’s pad

Meghan makes public appearance, but low key Vancouver Island community takes it in stride

“The property sits at the end of a private road, behind a gate. But since the royals moved in, a white tarp has been placed behind it to provide added privacy. A temporary metal fence has also been erected along the edge of the property that leads down to a public beach and a security camera and dog now keep watch.”

So was MM off property on her walk? If not, wouldn’t the photographer be trespassing?

Yes, I remember reading that. Class act.

I saw The Queen Mother when I was about 7, she landed at an RAF base near our house. There was quite a crowd of adults and kids waving flags and cheering and of course she smiled and waved at everyone. My sister, who was about 4, remains convinced QM waved directly at her. Apparently Andrew was there too, but I have no recollection of him at all!

600 guests at the wedding and only one member of her entire family. Probably safe to say she has no relationship with most of them.
This is one odd 'family'.

But just as "not yet president" Trump blamed Kate for the topless photos, "Kate Middleton is great—but she shouldn't be sunbathing in the nude—only herself to blame" lots of people will blame M for hiking, not carrying her child correctly and having the audacity to smile while doing both.
