This weekend was the first time I ever watched a clip from The Sun’s “royal show” on YouTube. It’s called Royal Exclusive and it’s hosted by The Sun’s royal editor Matt Wilkinson, who was not what I expected (younger, with a more working class accent and zero on-screen charisma). I’m including the most recent episode at the end of the post. I actually debated whether to amplify this mess, but after watching some of it, I feel like it’s incredibly revealing about how these royal reporters live in a hateful echo chamber which is sustained by their own stupidity and vileness. Wilkinson spends the first and last segments of the show talking to Ingrid Seward and her Doris Day wig. Those segments are all about the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. You know, the royals who haven’t lived in the UK for over four years. Seward and Wilkinson obsessively go through the Sussex news (the new Netflix shows), trying to make fun of Harry and Meghan and then Wilkinson reveals that he went to Montecito last year because he “heard” that the Sussexes were having marriage trouble (lies made up in the British media) so he went to investigate. That’s when Seward pontificates about how the Sussexes’ marriage is quite strong because Harry has an “obsessive love” for Meghan.
‘Obsessive’ Prince Harry will never leave Meghan Markle, a royal expert has claimed. Royal biographer Ingrid Seward believes the Duchess of Sussex will stay happy as long as “she’s in control”.
Despite rumours that the couple were having trouble in paradise last year, Ms Seward believes this shows how strong the couple truely are. Speaking to royal editor Matt Wilkinson on The Sun’s new show, Royal Exclusive, she said: “I think Harry has got an obsessive love for Meghan. I don’t think he will ever, ever leave her. She is in control and I think as long as she is in control she is happy. I think the marriage is good and they’re very happy. Who wouldn’t be happy living in that gorgeous house with two lovely children. I know they’re not popular in this country but does that really worry them? I don’t know.”
“I don’t think he will ever, ever leave her.” LOL. I know that’s right. As you can see in the video, Seward and Wilkinson basically have no idea how to frame the issue of “a prince is in love with his wife and he doesn’t treat her like sh-t.” It’s even funnier in context, as Seward and Wilkinson spend 15 minutes trying to convince everyone that Sophie and Edward have an amazing marriage, second only to Prince William and Kate’s marriage. When faced with the Sussexes’ true, visible happiness, they cannot believe what they’re seeing. Anyway, I don’t think Harry has an “obsessive love” for Meghan. I think they both fell in love HARD and they’re really well-suited for one another. They always want to make Meghan sound like Harry’s puppeteer, when really Meghan was so dickmatized, she put on blinders, moved to another country, put up with years of press abuse and defamation, all to be with Harry.

No, it’s just regular run of the mill love that 2 emotionally mature people built & maintain together.
It’s mutual respect for boundaries & acceptance of mistakes.
In short, it’s everything Willy & Kate are not, never have & never will be. So I can see why the British media are confused.
It must hurt these misserable people with failed and loveless marriages and relations to withness true love (Seward found out when her husband died that he was cheating on her with multiple women throughout the marrage).
And of course Meghan is the one controlling the bewitched Harry.
This British media’s talking point is boring.
PS: Most people enjoyed the love and frienship Harry, Meghan and their friends, sports, business and charity partners gave us at last weekend’s Sentsbale polo event. Let the salty ones stay salty. H&M, please give us more American Riviera the rest of the Spring and Summer.
These two have gone through great lengths to be together, to survive and to thrive with a new family. These are veterans of their own life and for sure going through something like that makes you or breaks you. These 2 will make it!
The only ones obsessing over Hot Harry and Beautiful Smart Meghan is Baldy Willie and Kkkhate and their gang of racist corrupt incompetent british press
Yes and no because it’s stronger than most marriages? There has been an amazing social-media-led revolution in honesty about how many men don’t like their wives and tolerate them only as servants. Harry is the elite and rare husband who visibly adores his wife.
That and they are waaaay sexier than the average middle age couple.
How could you NOT love our Harry? A man who protects, cares, is affectionate, loving, gentle, thoughtful, passionate, emotionally intelligent, funny, bright and hard-working……
And the deranges think the lovely Meghan would ever leave a man like that???
Amen!!! Harry would be a prince even if he had been born in a Midwest suburb! A true prince!
Love when they say the quiet part out loud… why would Harry loving his spouse devotedly be a bad thing?!
Because, @ThatIsTheThing, the so-called royals have ingrained into the commoners that a real royal marriage is about duty, not love. Liz may have married for love, Philip married for status, and all that went with marrying a queen–he was finally legit royal. Charles married Diana because she was young, naive, for height and children. He never really loved her; he made that perfectly obvious. Peggy married Button Girl because she was the only one willing to take him on, although I’m not sure she even realized the extent of his selfishness and predilections. The British media, and maybe some of her people, has no idea what to do with a couple that is visibly besotted with each other, continues to stand firmly together through thick and thin, and is Sussexful and universally popular in many ways. I can’t wait to buy Meg’s jam–hope she makes apricot; it’s my favourite.
Always missing from their control narrative is the fact that PH travels quite a bit on his own and does his own things that he was into before meeting Meghan. Are these people’s lives really so bitter and sad that they can’t recognize the possibility of an equal partnership and mutual respect?
@equality…no they don’t understand a Prince actually in love with his wife. They are used to the “royal standard” of the wife walks two steps behind their husband and are just a figurehead to make them look good and give them heirs. Then they have their side pieces. I don’t see this in Harry. He broke the mold…and good for him. He is a great husband and active father…not like his brother who looks irritated when he looks at his wife.
They have never seen two people that ACTUALLY love each in the RF. It clearly bothers them that their smear campaign didn’t work and that Meghan didn’t go running for the hills. They also hate that the others in the RF ( W&K) don’t act like this.
They also will never admit that a blood prince left royalty and found a better home, a better marriage and a better life.
That, but also – being in control of one’s own life and one’s own relationship isn’t a bad thing. It’s not a negative. Meghan is setting her own boundaries and controlling her own life and there isn’t anything wrong with that. She did not want to go to the coronation for what I assume were many reasons, so she didn’t go, and harry respected that.
Do I do things I don’t want to do because my husband wants to do something? Sure, of course, the same way he does things he doesn’t want to do because I do. There’s always that back and forth in a healthy relationship. But I am still always in control of my choices and I don’t apologize for that, and I don’t think Meghan does either.
Harry likewise is in control of his own life and he is not apologizing for that at this point.
But you can be “in control” and still be in a loving, giving relationship, which is what we see with those two.
They absolutely hate that Meghan isn’t a doormat willing to sacrifice her dignity to please the white royals. And that Harry supports her when she doesn’t bend to their will.
Now say the same thing about Will and Kate, only with a straight face.
I can say with a straight face that Kate is obsessively in love with William’s titles and future title and will never leave him. Does that count?
I agree, she married the future King not William Arthur Philip Louis. I also believe that Diana fell in love with the future King, not Charles Philip Arthur George. But she was only a teenager so not so surprising. That disaster was easy to see.
“Obsessed”=committed to each other despite ALL the abuse, hatred, lies, manipulation thrown at them.
Exactly. I guess the Royal Reporters don’t have any good role models for grown-up love, so they don’t recognize a real marriage when they see it.
It’s amazing how they deem any form of mutual respect, love, and fidelity as obsession in the UK. Like how crappy are the relationships of those people? The royals and Aristos seem to all have crap marriages, but do the common people? This is such a delusional and telling take.
Upper-class British culture still often isn’t about marrying-for-love, fidelity, trust, respect–or any sane basis for staying together. We’re talking folks who for generations married for money/titles/status; lived separate lives from their spouses; had innumerable side pieces–and regarded their kids as afterthoughts/status stepping stones. The RR believe the RF’s way of life is _the_ way to live, so they think the dysfunction, craziness, and mess that results is normal.
Thanks for watching this drivel Kaiser, so I didn’t have to!!
IKR? This makes me a little ragey. Conflating a healthy marriage and family with obsession. And the constant leveling up of misogyny/misogynoir hurled at Meghan for existing. I value Kaiser’s summaries because that’s the most I can handle.
Seriously. It’s so clear that these people are all driven purely by bitterness. It comes across with every nasty word they say.
My aunt has great history knowledge, and yet when I talk to her about the royal family, she repeats the headlines. Which is how I know, that they said about King Edward that he was obsessed with Wallis Simpson. That makes the woman the villain and the man the victim, right?
Yeah, the narrative around Wallis Simpson has always be that she used some kind of witchery to entrap him. Like, uh, dude didn’t want to be king and he found a loophole that allowed him to live a life of leisure in France while the crown drove his brother to an early grave.
Hahahahahahah. I cannot believe this doofus admitted his failed trip to California to investigate divorce rumors. Whose rumors? Did he ask the hotel concierge to help him find out if the Sussexes were having problems? Geraldo Rivera should be a little less embarassed about the Al Capone vault thing after this guy.
Soooo… In the Five Stages of Grief there’s denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance.
Perhaps the BM are finally clawing their way to depression when it comes to H&M?
I think they are finally accepting that Harry and Meghan are madly in love and are not going to separate, but are in denial that this is a good thing and are angry and depressed about it.
Interested Gawker, Great analysis of the 5 stages of grief here.
“ When faced with the Sussexes’ true, visible happiness, they cannot believe what they’re seeing.”
Is this the first time that someone from the RR has mentioned (be it in the most negative way possible) that H&M are not heading for a divorce? Do we see this as progress?
They will be talking about divorce again tomorrow, They frequently contradict themselves and their readers just can’t seem to see it.
I think you nailed it. Unfortunately, these people are desperately in need of a therapist, so they will be back to anger by tomorrow.
“Never leaving” means they finally know Harry is not coming back. Next step is acceptance. I love that for Harry and his sweet family
I’d argue that the geniuses aren’t grieving–they are humiliated and furious. Which means they are gonna stay stuck in those particular stages…😈
It is scary that there are lot of white people (especially women), who can’t accept that a black woman is loved very much by her husband. It is always some obsessiveness or witchcraft.
This isn’t just that, it’s leaning into the black magic witch woman thing they have going. If he loves her and stays with her it’s ‘obsessive’ and she’s some voodoo witch with a hold over him. Blah blah blah.
They’re so obvious. I guess they’re used to willy loathing Kate
Sevenblue, I’d add more specifically (and maybe this is what you meant), it’s a Black woman being loved and prioritized by a *white* husband. This is what has all those Karens in the British media and on social media confused, dismayed, pissed off, delusional and in disbelief. It can’t be true respect and love (because the Karens themselves don’t respect or love Black women, even those who claim to be feminists) so it has to be voodoo or some other black magic.
I don’t trust that his woman as far as o can throw her so she’ll be backtracking on these comments in 3, 2, 1. No no, she didn’t mean Harry would never leave Meghan because Harry really loves Keen and would rather be the third in his brother’s marriage than have his own family. This was JUST the narrative by these folks last week. They are so contradictory it’s ridiculous.
This really is it. A white man (a prince, no less!) is not supposed to have his Black wife on a pedestal the way Harry has Meghan. A white man is not supposed to defend his Black wife against his white family, against the world really. He’s not supposed to upend a two thousand year old institution for that Black wife.
We’ve seen that white women (and I am saying this is a WW) really cannot cope with Harry’s love for Meghan and that has been behind so much of the hate over the last few years, including from Kate and her family.
even here with Seward – the line about “obsessive love” – she’s making it sound like someone gave Harry a love potion, not that he just fell in love with Meghan.
They also hate that the black princess is treated much better by her white prince that the white princess has ever been treated.
That’s exactly it— H&M’s relationship is a stark comparison to W&K’s, and it really shined a light on how cold and distant William is toward his own wife.
It’s absolutely primarily driven by racism, but they also despise the Sussexes because they exposed the fact that W&K’s “fairytale” marriage is anything but, and H&M are the ones who actually ended up living happily ever after.
It’s the old “devil vagina” that entices poor men so they can’t think straight……
I mean, it can’t be because she is a beautiful, poised, accomplished and intelligent woman?
Who ever heard of that? Naw, can’t be.
What a sad commentary on the British view if marriage. A couple not abusing each other, actually enjoying each other, leading a productive life together amounts to an obsession. Says so much more about the state of the UK than it does about the Sussexes!
It had nothing to do with Britain or the British people. Just tabloid clickbait. you say a Fox News commentator represents the American people? Anyway the biggest audience for the UK tabloids’ online activity is actually Americans. That’s why the Mail Online does so many stories about random American celebs who are unknown in Britain – because their stats show that the vast, vast majority of visits to the Mail Online site come from IP addresses located in North America.
Where no British people live, at all.
Infidelity is rife among the rich/ upper class in the UK. As a prince, Harry can choose and dump whoever he wants.
A friend once told me of a story where a wealthy man , I shall call Mr A saw a beautiful woman who was married to Mr B. Despite this fact , Mr B asked if Mr A could release the woman from the marriage so he could be with her. Mrs B left Mr B to be with Mr A for a number of years after which Mrs B went back to Mr B- True Story.
As a lot of people have commented , these ghouls project their bad experience coupled with their rabid racism / classism , they are flummoxed that Harry is in love with a woman who quite frankly is not an English Rose forgetting that most of those English Rose were unwilling to be part of the RF given how the female married ins are treated.
Chelsea, whom could even be said to be the other lady PH was really invested in could not hack it & decided to part ways with Harry.
Also another point in being in love as Harry is with Meghan is that they are not expecting them to go the distance based on their prejudice and expect them to have broken up by now. Since that is not the case , it means there are no scandalous stories to feed these ghouls as the tabloid feeds on sensationalism
I’ve actually stopped going to British tabloid sites for a couple years now. Even on these blogs , I skip their excerpts and go directly to Kaisers summary. One thing I do remember when visiting England in the early 2000s, I’ve never seen that many couples in a week argue/fight in public as much as I did. I can, in a way, see why some over there doesn’t understand what it’s like to have HMs love story. And I’ve noticed on SM, the majority attacking HM are non-Americans.
Ingrid is annoying. So a couple can’t be in love without obsession. I guess Ingrid likes the whatever in love means idea of Charles.
And yet, they want to sell the idea of Charles being so in love with Cam that he couldn’t get over her and ruined his marriage with Diana for her.
She’s projecting the Wails relationship – Kate was an obsessed stalker, still is even thou she loathes being around him. She hates him but will never let him go – THATS an obsessed ‘love’.
💯 Digital Unicorn! Someone in that family has an obsessed kind of love but it ain’t the Sussexes. The Sussexes are so clearly full of love, compassion, caring, kindness, partnership for EACH OTHER! Keen, on the other hand, is known to have stalked her husband through college and even up until last year continues to obsessively make googly eyes at him while he runs the other way.
The only thing Harry is obsessive about is making sure Meghan doesn’t stumble or step in a drop of water. The way that man holds her hands through any position while he watches her steps is a master class in how to be an attentive partner. 😆
I know, right @SussexWatcher. It’s so sweet the way he ensures that she negotiates her way safely down the stairs. He did the same thing while Meghan was pregnant as well.
Does this mean that Ingrid is in love with both Harry and Meghan the way she is so obsessive about them?
I just can’t with these people at The Scum*.
If they only used their resources – time and money – to research everything that is wrong with the monarchy, including the Fortnum’s bags full of cash, the Wailses’ failing marriage *and* Kate Missington, the BRF being exempt from laws, the disappearance of the Nizam of Hyderabad necklace etc as fervently as they scrutinize the Sussexes’ happy and healthy marriage.
I mean, Seward is clearly an expert in marriages, seeing she only found out after her husband’s death that he had several affairs.
Matt Wilkinson BTW is that creep who crept up from behind at Invictus Düsseldorf, trying and very much succeeding to get as close to H&M as possible.
* OT, but it’s the 35th anniversary of Hillsborough today – and The Scum played a *huge* part in vilifying the victims with their disgusting and blatant lies.
Yes, @nanea, I’ll always remember who Matt Wilkinson from the Sun is bc he was such a creeper at the IG. The way he hovered and tried to get closer to Meghan was creepy. Other journalists were there and yet he stood out with weird vibes. Now we learn he went all the way to California based on deranger comments. What a stalker. If it wasn’t so icky, I’d give him credit for wrangling a Cali trip out of Murdoch, all for some fake SM comments. To which he could find no evidence of their marriage bring in trouble. Which duh.
What did he think was going to happen? Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom were going to have lunch with him and tell him about the Sussexes marriage?
Think he was talking to people at the hotels to see if Harry was actually staying in one regularly or at all. But yea talk about a wasted expense trip.
LOL @Nanea. We have two RR’s that have ‘obsessively’ talked and stalked the Sussexes.
Wilkinson most likely played his employers. He knew the divorce rumors were untrue based on where they originated from. He made the great sacrifice to leave the grey skies and extra salty air of England to go to the sunny well seasoned skies of California. A hardship on his part. /s
He probably asked his Uber driver if they knew anything about the “divorce rumors” and then asked a fiddler crab he saw on a beach the same.imo Job done. Time to soak up some Cali sun. Wilkinson probably never made it to Montecito. How embarrassing for “investigative churnalism”.?.
Just a reminder. Ingrid Seward was one of the “Fab Four”lol of RR’s that participated in the interview of the before not seen Oprah interview.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T_j35t3GCsk
Every clip I’ve seen of this “show” Wilkinson is asking the guest if Harry and Meghan should bring the children to the UK. It’s very weird. What’s even weirder and stalkerish is he flew to California to find out if the press lies about Harry and Meghan’s marriage were true. Harry and Meghan’s marriage seems obsessive to these ghouls because they’ve never seen a royal couple that’s in love before.
The misogyny of assuming that if a man treats his wife with consideration, it’s because he’s under her control. They are constantly revealing how terrible they are.
It is very easy to come to that conclusion in Harry and Meghan’s case. I don’t agree with it by the way don’t get me wrong. But in England a lot of people ask themselves why on God’s green Earth Harry would give up his royal status in England to live in a foreign country with a woman his blood family did not approve of? Think about it. Harry has given up literally his reputation as a royal, comfort, social standing, and a lot of money he would have inherited from his father the King. I would be surprised if King Charles will leave him a penny.
We know that the King won’t leave Harry anything, it will all go to William, there is an exemption from death duties if everything is left to the heir. The Late Queen left everything to Charles for the same reason.
This concept is alive and well everywhere. If a man starts prioritizing time with his new family – wife’s fault. If he grows up and ditches his drink buddies – wife’s fault. If he starts eating healthy or limits alcohol- she makes him. Here we see it completely on steroids but sadly nothing new.
At least it seems they accepted the fact that Meghan isn’t going anywhere.
🎯
what i want to know is when Matt going to be sued for stalking, i watched that guy creep towards them on the seats at the last invictus games, he should at least we on a watch list and have a restraining order
That’s actually frightening that this is the same creeper from Invictus!!! And now he’s gone to CA to investigate the Sussexes and the state of their marriage? I really hope they get a restraining order against him and it comes with a gag order so he can’t talk about it.
There is a screenshot from the Netflix doc going around on twitter of this guy outside the house they were renting in Vancouver, after KC3 took away their security. He is a danger, imo.
H&M were actually in Saanich, a small town north of Victoria on Vancouver Island. They were in a gated community and he was hovering around the gates until he got chased away by some locals, it was hilarious!
Does he have the hots for Harry? Is that his problem?
Actually, the British media do know how to frame a prince being in love with his wife: she controls him; he’s whipped. At last, we have the long sought definition of love for the British royals. Any royal man who truly loves his wife is “obsessed” and “controlled” by her. This allows them to look the other way from William’s public indifference towards his wife. William is “a real man, a man’s man”. None of this obsession for him.
They said the same thing about Wallis Simpson…her “prince” was so in love with her that he abdicated the throne to be with her and lived with and loved her until he died. That is not the norm for the BRF
But @Theresa, it’s important to recognize that Edw VIII/ David was actually abnormally obsessed with Wallis Simpson. He threatened her that he would kill himself if she didn’t marry him. The British government used Edw VIII’s obsession with Wallis to force his abdication. They knew he was irresponsible and unfit to remain king.
Yep, and Kate is so perfect because she knows her place and never “makes him” do anything.
H&M know they can’t win for losing. I for one LOVE seeing how he treats her. I believe Meghan helped him see the toxicity of how he was treated all his life and he finally found a love and family to call his own and love – and I believe he had that with his mother.
Secondly, anything that makes Will and Kate look less than ideal, the BM will put a negative spin on – and here we are, case in point.
Lastly, obsessive brings to mind stalking and everything that comes with unhealthy love, this is not that. In obsessive love, both do not thrive, and well, as we can all see H&M are thriving in their love for each other and their family.
@Seraphina Ditto and exactly!
Well, aside from the obsessive love and calling Meghan controlling part, Seward was saying some actual truth. They’re very happy and why shouldn’t they be? They live in a gorgeous house with lovely children. My favorite part was when she said they’re not popular in the uk but does it really worry them? 😂😂😂 Reader, it does not worry them.
If being popular in the UK means accepting abuse (and we know in their case it does), they’re like, “Hard pass”. 🙎
I know one person who’s supposedly popular in the UK: Kate. What good is that doing her right about now? She’s been missing since December, yet the press seem to care more about Meghan. Regarding Kate, It occurred to me over the weekend that William’s presumed WFH announcement says more about her than people care to realize. There’s no way she’ll be out in public if he’s at home. Read into that what you please.
It’s always interesting to see how the answer is right there for them ( no he isn’t obsessed, they just based their relationship on mutual respect and common goals) but nope it has to be Jezebel trope. Seems like some of them if not all are realizing they can’t Peter Pan wish themselves into the Sussexes being unsuccessful, having no friends and returning to be scapegoats. What I wonder is who is going to go down with the ship, and who is going to go rogue and start revealing the real dysfunctional marriage, poor management stories with the UK royals rather than trying to create them for Harry and Meghan.
Well, there’s the love, of course. But I think there’s the other bond that people have when they been through a harrowing experience and survived. Both H&M have had their lives upended. They’ve been fortunate to have personal money and connections to help rebuild, but they’re still under constant attack from the press, from their families and they still have to deal with the security concerns. Everyday love can’t always withstand this kind of pressure – there needs to be an additional level of trust and faith in one another.
Wise words, @Eurydice. And true.
It’s one thing for the royals themselves to hold fast to the ancient aristocratic tradition of loveless marriages between two people who can barely tolerate each other’s existence in distant wings of the same palace (or, in William and Kate’s case, not even in separate homes on the same massive estate), all while indulging in a succession of torrid affairs. It’s just deeply weird to me that the media and (some of) the public are apparently so invested in those unhappy relationships that they can’t even conceive of a royal couple that genuinely love and respect each other.
Excellent point, Miranda! I hope there aren’t as many dysfunctional relationships in GB as these descriptions of the Sussex marriage seem to indicate.
@Brassy Rebel – maybe try watching some the British Soaps ( TV programs) such as East Enders – that is a type of a reflection of the British society.
@Brassy Rebel–and/or watch Midsomer Murders, which regularly skewers the British class system and the upper-class’s idea of marriage. 🤣😂
I will never forget that it was this Angry Sewage woman who made the comment that William will reconcile with Harry only if Meghan is dead. After she was called out, she rephrased the statement to say that the brothers will reconcile only if their wives die. I hope she’s experiencing some real pain right now realizing that what she hoped for Meghan, is now happening to the one she favors.
I remember that. That was really disgusting of her to say but it’s not the first time one of them has alluded to M’s death as necessary. I hope everything they wished for M happens to them.
Another one was valentine Low. Iirc he said something like Harry won’t return to royal duties while Meghan is still breathing. Which yikes.
What a,creepy comment by low.
Ingrid is never going to blame William. He did cause the trouble and was abusive to harry before Meghan came on the scene.
Seward also talked about Meghan’s cooking show and how everything absolutely everything she does will be criticized. And now I’m kind of laughing bc yes, people will be screaming how dare she cook her chicken like that? Who does that? How dare she? Which makes me respect Meghan even more. Despite all the haters rolling their eyes and saying ugh why does everyone think they’re the next Martha, she’s doing it anyways. She knows what’s true to her and doing it despite all the inevitable criticism. Seward at least says that hate views are still views.
Which is all the more baffling that William and Kate are melting under the spotlight. Makes me wonder what would happen to them if they were subject to half the harassment that H&M have had to endure. Clearly, this is just another YouTube troll channel disguised as royal
commentary that has been created for the sole purpose of breathlessly and endlessly deconstructing every breath the Sussexes take. I pray that CB will not see the need to regularly cover this garbage.
LOL at “how dare she cook her chicken like that?”
Because we know it’s coming.
How dare she smile?
How dare she thrive?
How dare she celebrate 4th of July with the king’s grandchildren?
How dare she give birth to Archie (albeit 4 years earlier) on the king’s coronation date?
Love that. How dare she!
I don’t know much about. Edward and Sophie’s marriage, but if it’s second only to W&K it can’t be much. These people have about as much charisma as a garden slug. While Harry and Meghan blinds us with the light of their love, which I’m sure will out live all of these rodents. Carry on H&M! God and the critical thinking world is on your side.
Unlike W&K, E&S seem to be okay being around each other. I’d put them 1st over W&K.
Lol – Second to W&K’s marriage sounds like a disaster. But I think Sophie and Edward are ok – they seem to get along, they’ve been married for 25 years and people without charisma are allowed to be in love, too.
Not disputing that, but to hold W&K as the shining example of a good marriage while trying to tear down H&M who as we saw this weekend, truly love and are committed to each other. Harry never misses an opportunity to show his love for Meghan. Looking out for her every step ensuring there is no danger. Little things like helping her off that platform. The last we saw William turned his back on his wife totally
uncaring if she tripped on the steps. Sign of a good marriage? Not.
Not everyone is demonstrative in public. At least Edward & Sophie (and Charles and Camilla) look as if they have a comfortable relationship based on love and respect unlike William and Kate who act like 2 people who have just been introduced and have taken an instant dislike to one another.
Like others, I think that Edward and Sophie have a pretty solid marriage. They seem to at least actually get along with each other when they are out in public together etc.
But there’s a lot of promotion of the fiction that the Waleses have a ‘rock solid’ marriage.
Ed and Sofiesta seem to have some affection towards each other, external charisma notwithstanding. I’d say they’re steps above W&K. Much as I can’t abide Sofiesta’s uppitiness, let’s not get carried away and embiggen W&K. Facts are facts.
Love that photo of Harry holding Meghan’s hand while she steps off the stage. Such a contrast to TOB who wouldn’t even offer an umbrella in the rain to his wife.
You can tell Megan is just as much smitten with Harry. It’s a delight to see and I wish them many years of happiness.
A man in love with his wife (as he should be) with two little children is not planning on leaving her anytime soon!!! Shocking news 😂
The truth is the BM can’t report of the messy Wales marriage because of the invisible contract and rehashing stale tropes of the Sussexes is not making them money. Also I think Seward and other women like her are upset a biracial woman is not the royal sidechick, but a princess of England by marriage and mother of two legitimate successors to the throne.
and it’s been said that Cressida Bonas – Harry’s ex girlfriend is Ingrid Seward’s god daughter . so of course she would not like Meghan
Let me get this straight those island rats started the divorce rumors then that creep traveled to the state to investigate their own stupid sh….to find something to report on the marriage. Slowly they revealing why they tried so hard to make Meghan leave her husband or unalive herself with the coordinate smear campaign. Those rats 🐀 and company were really hoping for Harry to leave his wife and children. Will they ever let Harry and Meghan leave in peace?
If they think M is in control [of H], they have been steadily rejecting the new Harry he’s been showing himself to be since 2019. What they can’t accept is that Harry is in control of his life, and he used that control to reject Salty Isle.
It is a sad reflection on the state of most royal marriages if the media can’t cope with a couple who have love and respect for each other and are not afraid to show affection in public.
“Harry and Megan aren’t popular in the UK”, says the old witch, now could it possibly be because of all the LIES AND BULLSHT that you and all of the other rats have printed seward!?. And what moron flies to a different country to check if a couple he has no personal knowledge of, or interaction with! Are getting a divorce! What a bloody buffoon 😂. Maybe one day mss sewer will understand that what you are seeing with Harry and Megan, isn’t obsession, isn’t domination, it’s love, pure unadulterated genuine love. Not like his father and brother with their ever roaming trouser snakes and the faux affection in public!
“ever roaming trouser snakes”
😂😂😂😂
Twitter user KaindeB has the clip where Ingrid says Harry won’t leave Meghan and Matt admits to traveling all the way to California over baseless rumors and finding nothing if you want to watch it without giving their podcast direct engagement and it’s worth the watch because of how hilariously defeated they look in it lol. They finally seem to be getting to the acceptance stage when it comes to the Sussexes’ marriage and it’s hurting them so much and after watching how badly they’ve tried to break this couple over the years it’s a very enjoyable watch.
They keep shitting on them and they keep thriving. Harry raised millions for his charity and got to play in the same team as Adolfo Cambiaso, the Messi of Polo. He’s the best player in the world. Add to that he gets to go home with Meghan.
I’m amazed these fools can even recognise love, given they hardly experience it themselves.
And hang out with their close friends, gorgeous and charismatic Nacho and Delfina and their kids-sounds perfect to me.
With each passing day, I get more annoyed at the fact that the BM is constantly quoting “royal experts.” Anyone can call themselves an expert, ffs, and it’s clear that when the British press uses it, it means “someone who will perpetuate the narrative that the palace wants out there.”
Seward has likely never even met Meghan, and I’m sure her interactions with Harry over the years were totally inconsequential, if she ever even met him at all. But now she’s an “expert,” and as such, she’s qualified to tell the world Harry’s innermost thoughts and exactly how feels about his relationship with his wife? Seward can fck all the way off.
LMAO that this other moron I’ve never even heard of flew all the way to California to uncover a nonexistent divorce. What a tool, admitting that to the public and giving everyone a reason to mock him forever.
“talking to Ingrid Seward and her Doris Day wig.”
I don’t comment enough about how much I appreciate your writing, Kaiser. Delicious little asides like just make my day every time. 🙏🏾😂
Harry found the kind of true love that his mom seemed to have searched for her whole life, and I’m so happy for him. And he’s clearly put the work in to ensure his marriage would last — that’s not obsession, that’s a form of self-care, because he doesn’t want to lose Meghan.
He knew firsthand what kind of marriage he didn’t want. So, as he recounted in “Spare,” when Meghan called him out for speaking to her angrily one day, and she asked him where he’d learned that behavior, he listened to her, and went to therapy. She set a boundary — as she should have — and he loved her so much he fixed his behavior. William would never.
Harry is definitely obsessed with Meghan lol but she is equally obsessed with him. They’re the couple in your friend group who hates being apart from each other even for 5 minutes. For Harry I think his need to be near Meghan at all times comes from trauma, losing his mom (she was away from him when she died) and also losing relationships that became victims to the constant media onslaught. He did almost lose her when she admitted to having suicidal ideation when she was pregnant with Archie. It’s definitely one of his biggest fears. For Meghan, I think she just is an affectionate person, we see her hugging and holding people’s hands all the times, not only Harry’s. It’s her love language. So yeah, Ingrid Seward is right they are obsessed with each other, one of the few times a royal “reporter” has gotten it right.
For Harry, Meghan was someone who dazzled him on a variety of levels.
First he was blown away by her physically—even when she was wearing a puppy filter on instagram! At their first meeting they had a very strong and immediate mutual attraction.
They also had a strong connection in terms of their philanthropic interests. Harry was also impressed by Meghan’s obvious intelligence and her communication skills.
So Harry fell hard. And then when that family were trying to control them by cutting of money and security, I think Meghan was the one who saw a path forward to independence.
So no wonder Harry is obsessed.
And Meghan found a man who adored her, and was willing to fight to protect her and their baby. And oh yeah Harry is handsome, athletic and incredibly charismatic. So no surprise that Meghan is head over heels for Harry too.
All the adversity that they went through was supposed to break them apart only brought them closer together.
And no one who saw the look on Harry’s face at their wedding could have had any doubt about the strength of their feelings.
Even if this is true…can you blame him?? I am so sapphic about Meghan. He is a good-looking dude, but have you *seen* her? Or listened to how she talks? Or heard her accomplishments? This would only be the level of obsession a woman like Meghan deserves.
In reality I think they just love each other a lot and they’re one of those couples where the spark persists beyond the early relationship, which is nice.
Okay so tinfoil theory in coming:
You know how a lot of these headlines are projection? What if it’s really William obsessed with his current side piece? This could explain a lot.
IMO, they’re projecting a label of immaturity onto Harry, as they’ve always done – look at him, his wife runs his life.
Meanwhile, the only thing William seems competent at is complaining and being a petulant little bitch. So naturally, they want to make Harry look like the incompetent one. Projection is what narcissistic people do.
The Russian lawyer? Perhaps. I sense another shoe is about to drop with him and this could be part of that.
I wanted both sons to have the married happiness that was denied to their mother. I found it very revealing when Harry talked to Will a bout true love in Spare that elder brother responded that it might never happen. Yet both Harry and Meghan are glowing with love and happiness. Diana advised both of them to marry their best friend eg learn from her mistake of marrying someone she didn’t really know when a vulnerable teenager.
A lot of people, it seems, really don’t know what a happy relationship is, and can’t recognize one when they see it. You CAN be besotted with your wife, respect her, and have complimentary personalities without being “obsessed.”
They continuously want to play Harry off as a man-child, when he is the only one out of the whole bunch who is an actual adult, living a real life.
A man loves his beautiful charming wife and 2 kids, lives in a mansion in a gorgeous part of the US and has been successful. He left being #2 in England and now works for himself. Seems like a pro move.
I can’t decide whether this is in response to the Pasternik (?) interview where she said that the bm could only write negative stories about the Sussexes or more people in the bm are trying hard to get more US engagement to save their jobs. They can’t be vile and hateful for 7 years (at least) and then start doing this without me wondering what their motivation is. We know there has to be one because H&M hate has kept money in their pockets.
So ingrid is just big mad that she has never been loved . Too bad, too sad.
Seward and Wilkinson are always commentators on the royal beat and you should see the way they twist theirselves into pretzels trying to talk up Chuck, Camz, Peg, and kHate. It’s actually hilarious to watch the loons try to pull that off. Matt Wilkinson is obsessed with Harry and Meghan. I saw a clip of him sneak up like a sly fox as close as he could get to Harry and Meghan in the stands and take pictures with his phone. The look on his face was priceless after Seward said Harry had an obsessive love for Meghan.
Edit above – Wilkinson snuck up in the stands at IG
The best thing about Harry and Meghan being out and about with Nacho and Delfina, Serena and Alexis, Michael and Luisana, Misan and Camilla and so many other couples is that their love for each other doesn’t stand out. Its the norm for happy married couples to laugh with each other, hold hands and be physically affectionate.
Harry and Meghan’s happy marriage only needed to be portrayed as abnormal and transgressive because the other senior royals were bored or miserable in theirs. The Sussexes warmth highlighted the other’s cold marriages and exacerbated their jealousy. Having left a den of jackals the Sussexes interactions with each other aren’t as notable. Which honestly illustrates how toxic every aspect of the royal life is. It pollutes every familial tie whether its siblings, parents, or spouses.
It’s interesting how, and pushing the ideal of patriarchal marriage. (where the man is in control and parenthesis, they are pushing the very kind of marriage that is least likely to succeed. They must not know what happy, devoted marriages looks like
They’re seriously going to make it their life’s work to get as many people to hate Meghan as is humanly possible. Like, they’re really going to look back on their life and have hatred be their legacy. They wasted their time on earth obsessing over hating a Black American woman for not wanting to just sit around and be hated on.

Exactly . .what is so unusual about people who take their marriage vows seriously . What Harry does ..look after and protect his family, respect and love his wife is NORMAL. All this business about comparing Meghan to Wallis Simpson ? Harry didn’t abdicate a throne or shirk any responsibility . He served as long as he was there and was literally driven out when his family was under threat . And as for control freaks ..what about Camilla who really holds the reins ? William missed the boat ..he had ten years to see what Kate and the Middletons were like and he still ends up marrying her . If he made his bed , he can lie in it, and not obsess about a brother who married a soul mate.
I have never clicked on the British tabloids since 2020. I was so mad that I clicked on that clip by mistake. I swear because of Sussex fans Daily Fail did better last month in viewership. I will click on the NYP once in a while but British tabloids, NEVER! I cannot even watch Downton Abbey anymore. It used to be one of my favorites. I am sticking to Poirot because it is my comfort show. I am starting to side eye BBC shows and without merit, I might add. This how the Rota rats and their lots disgust me.
Me too. On these blogs, I usually skip their excerpts and go directly to Kaisers summary and then the comments section. They are just literally making a mockery of people’s intelligence and some are even going after US private citizens. I’ve known a couple people who are so turned off, they’re skipping the UK on their European travel plans(treating them like a flyover state).
I guess they’re more than OK and think it’s normal for a married couple like WK to look miserable and W looking so bitter that he married his wife. LolZ.. I’m sorry but no wonder why the UK is ranked the 2nd most miserable country in the world and those 2 so called reporters just proved why that country is miserable.
I wish someone could go back to Diana where she talks about love in the marriage-Charles says love what is that-Harry saw this statement too.
