Ingrid Seward is one of the main monarchist/royal commentators. She’s an old-school loyalist to King Charles and Queen Camilla, and she’s written a lot of fanciful royal books. She’s also the editor of Majesty, a magazine which still exists. C-word was a guest on the Sun’s royal-themed talk show, called the Royal Exclusive Show. For the most part, it’s just Matt Wilkinson inviting “royal experts” on to whine about the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. Well, this week, they had a lot to complain about! The topic of the week was the Sussexes’ seventh wedding anniversary, and C-word admitted something interesting: members of the royal family told her back in 2018 that the family didn’t expect Harry and Meghan’s marriage to last five years.
Here’s #IngridSewer admitting it was the royal family briefing that the Sussex marriage wouldn’t last 5 yrs.
“Do you remember … when they got married a lot of members actually of the royal family said it won’t last 5 years? But it has, it’s lasted 7.”

Granted, we knew this long ago. The reports of Kensington Palace staffers referring to Meghan as a “degree wife” didn’t come out of thin air – this was what the Windsors were saying to everyone. It wasn’t like those same people just stood back and waited for their prediction to come true – they were trying to force Harry and Meghan to divorce (or worse) and they were absolutely trying to bully Meghan out of the UK. Now that she’s been gone from Britain for five-plus years, they’re still bitching and moaning though. Speaking of, C-word had so many thoughts about Meghan’s sweet anniversary collage:
Royal expert Ingrid Seward told the Royal Exclusive Show how the cringey display was over the top. She told The Sun’s Royal Editor Matt Wilkinson: “I mean I’ve never heard of someone doing a mood board for a wedding anniversary, but maybe it does happen now. But I think it’s… Meghan is just so Californian in everything she does. And that is not a criticism, that’s the way they do things. Probably it’s completely normal. But I just think it’s… you can look but you can’t touch sort of thing. You know, these are my children but they’re tiny, tiny pictures so you can’t see them. And aren’t Harry and I happy? It seems to me such a very narcissistic way of doing things to celebrate an anniversary. Showing it to the world. Surely if they really were as happy as she makes out she wouldn’t need to tell anyone. That’s what it smacks of to me.”
LMAO. C-word and her ilk are incandescent with rage that they couldn’t force the Sussexes to divorce, and they can’t force Meghan to stop showing the world that she’s happy and she has a great marriage. “It’s narcissistic to post photos on your anniversary!” Okay, so you’re saying that Prince William and Kate are narcissists too? Because they posted an anniversary photo AND they went on a taxpayer-funded vacation to Scotland. Charles and Camilla posted photos for their anniversary as well. Millions of people do the same! Good lord.

This is the most hysterically funny nonsense I’ve read. It’s like a sketch comedy bit about someone desperately trying to hide soul-eating envy and failing spectacularly.
What makes it even funnier is that they are constantly doing this for W&K in going on and on about their being closer than ever, etc.
We’re not a photography family, but I am a poet.
Every year on our anniversary I post a poem I’ve written celebrating our love story on social media. Sometimes it’s a repeat or a revision of an older piece, some years I have something new.
We’ve been married 34 years, and I’ve been doing this, and posting other love poems I’ve written for my husband too, ever since I joined FB over a decade ago.
I had NO IDEA I was being such a narcissist. Should I feel ashamed? Should I be “humble” and never mention the amazing luck I’ve had, to be partners with a warm, smart, loving man?
I guess I better rethink my life choices. I mean, I don’t even live in California! Clearly I’m getting it wrong. 🙄
What a sweet tradition! I have my one-year anniversary coming up in July (first time bride at age 71) but actually dated my now husband back in 1977/78. It didn’t work out, he dumped me, married someone else after a brief courtship and had a long, fraught marriage that ended badly (marry in haste, repent at leisure). Then he tracked me down 10 years ago and the rest is history. I may borrow your lovely idea and write a poem about how lucky I am too.
@Jaded — you absolutely should!
Congratulations on your upcoming anniversary 💖💖💖
Clearly you and your spouse are a living demonstration that #LoveWins 💛🏵🌿
This is so lovely, it made me teary! Awwww, I want to be loved enough for poems on an anniversary! Thanks for sharing.
🎯
But if the pictures were bigger, “But they said they wanted PRiVaCy!”
Ingrid’s greatest frustration is not being able to see the Sussex children clearly. Surely, as a royalist, she could understand that H&M do not want their children recognizable for security reasons. Why are they so fixated on Archie and Lili?
Why does she want to see the children. To criticize them probably
The wales use their children like in those commercials. There are derangers who say the Sussex children do not exist and make cruel comments. Ingrid should keep quiet.
“You can look, but you can’t touch my children”? Well, yeah. They aren’t publicly owned like these morons seem to think. I’m going with that this moron doesn’t get out much. I have seen these kinds of boards for people’s birthday, anniversary, graduation parties. It’s not just a “California” thing. And, you are right, they didn’t think the marriage would last because they had plans to either prevent or end it all along. They have always been blind to Harry’s true character so thought he would be like the rest and not flee the nest with her.
No, this lady cannot touch their children. Jeez, what weirdos. Technically people are not touching the Wales kids except for walkabouts.
With all the horrific comments by Ingrid and her ilk and the derangers, why would they not want to protect their children.
🎯
Exactly – I was like Ingrid, congratulations! You are SO nearly close to getting it!
The Sussexes moved their little ones out of the rota’s line of fire for very good reasons.
William and Kate posted an entire video frolicking on the beach but it’s narcissistic to post a collage? I think it was her too who said recently after Meghan was on Jamie Kern Lima’s podcast that Meghan should be ” humble” about being so happy about her marriage. So yeah for them literally her being happy is the problem. If she’s going to be terrible by still being married to Harry it has to be transactional and unhappy like others.
I also guess it’s ” Californian” to be happily married? I think a lot of people around the world would disagree with her. I can’t imagine finding it objectionable that someone that is happily married is okay with saying they’re happily married. And the obsession with not being able to see and judge their children!!! Sheesh, just prime creeps. How do they not get embarrassed constantly throwing tantrums about not being able to see strangers children. Just such a sour unhappy person. All over her face and in every comment.
Right? An entire video of them frolicking on a beach that was paid for by tax-payer money. But a collage freely posted on insta is too much. That’s wild.
And it just doesn’t work if they big up the Wales and then demean the Sussexes. For both showing their families. The hypocrisy is too blatant.
Bc what is she even saying? That kate is somehow less happy than Meghan in the videos. And yet somehow also more humble? What makes Kate appear more humble in those videos? Hmm.
They just want her to shut up, not be seen, etc etc.
Her success is making them furious because they can’t influence her, they can’t bend her to their will.
They wish they could silence her again.
Exactly. They want their narratives to be seen as her story and not her own.
“So yeah for them literally her being happy is the problem”
That’s it! this evil minded people cannot see Harry and Meghan happy and successful. Ingrid Seward and all cannot fathom that royals can leave the royal institution and be still live a happy and successful life. If they would acknowledge this there house of cards will collapse. People start asking what is the point of the Monarchy if you can do the same staff outside the royal institution and even being happier.
Everything she does is a problem because they don’t want her to exist much less to be successful, happy, thriving.
I haven’t seen these mood boards in real life, but they strike me as the new pic-collages or something.
Also Meghan and Harry being obviously happy shows the obvious lack of happiness with the other couple. Even the video looked forced and fake. Anyone with eyes can see what is real affection versus what is forced interaction for PR.
I’m still laughing at the picture of Archie kissing Lili that is almost 3 years old, and pixelated.
The Dailyfail made a two page spread of Meghan’s mood board, enlarging pixelated pictures, not a great look.
Two pages?! Jesus. These people are nuts.
M is an inspiration because I would be tempted to hide out with this relentless obsession. But then, that’s what they want. If they can’t control her they want her silent and small.
The way the Royals voluntarily reveal themselves to not be majestic or mysterious, royally “above it all”, with their petty chatting to TABLOIDS (and yes that’s all these “royal” reporters are for all their attempts to claim some dignity by attaching “royal” to themselves”) is quite sad. Absolute lack of self-control, sense of dignity , and total inability to maintain any sense of decorum befitting their role on display here by the Royal family.
How truly sad. A thousand year old institution debasing itself to nothing more than people who associate with gutter tabloid trash. Ironically, such disgusting tabloid people would not in the US ever be allowed within 100 feet of a US president or their family…until Trump…but, birds of a feather I guess. As Trump would say- SAD!!!!
Not true, for all Presidents, the present one was close friends with the owner of the national inquirer.
Oops! I miss the trump part. Sorry
These people deserve to suffer, honestly. Their hatred is crazy and their lies are insane
Eloquently said LadyE. Totally agree with every point. I especially like, “A thousand year old institution debasing itself to nothing more than people who associate with gutter tabloid trash.” Perfect.
It’s almost Kardashianesque the way they court the tabloids and have them do the work of presenting them as wonderful, loving, kind human beings when they’re nothing but ill-tempered scammers feeding off the public teat.
I like to call it “Transactional Fraud” on a massive scale which has managed to anesthetize all royalists for no tangible reason. The BRF self-serving grift takes far more than the value they provide to their own citizens AKA The Great Royal Scam! Wake up, Britons!
What an ugly , jealous old hag .
Just keep your mouth shut you vindictive , nasty , bitter woman .
Find a room with all the other ones of your ilk and you can bitch quietly without anyone hearing you .
Cain and Unable’s children looked shocked in the shampoo commercial, when Cain was attempting to fake kiss their mother, because they were not used to to them being affectionate, they’re use to pillows flying.
Could she also tell us how narcissistic it is to create cheesy videos and post them? Just asking.
Ingrid Seward is unhinged. On one hand she’s complaining that the photos of the children were too small and the other hand she’s upset that Meghan posted photos of her and Harry being happy. She would be the first to be praising Kate is if she did something like this.
Ingrid is making her adored senior royals look horrid. Would Ingrid have,liked it if her in laws wanted her to be divorced by her husband
The company they keep…
Ingrid has been saying since at least 2020 that member(s) of the family said the marriage wouldn’t last & they expected her to return to USA but didn’t expect Harry to go with her. It’s in line with reporting in 2018 when the great smear campaign started that a member of the family called Meghan a degree wife & palace staff were gossiping to people like Camilla tominey that Harry was punching above his weight & the marriage wouldn’t last more than 5 years. That’s why I laugh when the same press claim that Meghan was welcomed with open arms
I don’t think it was a coincidence that the great smear campaign kicked off pretty much during the oceana tour & when the pregnancy announcement was made. The palace probably panicked that Harry would have a permanent tie to Meghan. I find it so sinister that the palace leaked to people like Valentine low that Meghan was in severe distress during what the press themselves called a geriatric pregnancy & yet never did anything to tell the press to calm down AND didn’t want her to get outplacement help. Some wanted something bad to happen but thankfully it didn’t.
Also isn’t it funny that Kate can do a video which apparently was meant to announce end of her preventative cancer treatment but has no useful links or insights for those going through the same. It’s a video of her & her husband rolling around in the sand & apparently was meant to be a f you to Harry & Meghan & people who spread rumours about Rose Hanbury etc. but this isn’t called narcissistic or trying to hard to prove a happy marriage 🤔
I wonder if Bad Dad claimed to them that Meghan was sterile and they believed him.
I think Campbell did. She is mean enough and it’s par for the course for her.
How would he know something that only her doctor would know and even that wouldn’t be guaranteed? Doctors can’t say for certain if a person can’t have children, so no one can say something like that for certain about anyone. I’ve had my tubes tied and burned and even with me there is still a probability. That’s why there are so many people who have children after adopting a child(ren). No one can say exactly what God has planned for any of us. So it would be stupid for him or any of the other derangers to make assumptions about what another woman’s body is capable of. Any of us who are real and honest about her, know and have seen the signs of how her physical appearance during each of her pregnancies changed beyond just her pregnant belly. That’s why so many of us knew before they announced that she was pregnant because we saw the subtle changes that only happen during pregnancies.
It’s funny. Bc Seward is agreeing with harry, technically. Harrys said on Colbert that they always knew his wife was going to leave but they didn’t expect him to go too. They wanted to bully her into becoming what they were calling her, a degree wife.
The smear campaign started when harry and Meghan first started dating. Oh it is just a fling derangers claimed plus there was a petition on dm comments to stop the wedding
This is the thing I believe too. It’s exactly what seemed to play out.. We got the degree wife stuff, Meghan had to work, Charles wouldn’t pay. And the bullying. So much was happening at the time. I’m. So glad Harry pulled the trigger and they left and created an incredible life
And thank God for Tyler Perry! He said that he was moved to help them because of his mother Maxines’s love of Princess Diana. She loved Diana because of her visits to Harlem when she was in the US. Tyler has been more of a family to Harry and Meghan than their paternal families.
Charles and Co. wanted her to go across the ocean back to Canada or California to pursue acting so there would be time away from Harry and he would “come to his senses.” what a creepy family.
I think the expectation that the marriage wouldn’t last is interesting because I think it can explain a lot of the behavior towards Meghan. Kate didn’t feel the need to spend time getting to know her or even pretending to be friends bc Meghan would be gone soon. Charles didn’t want to spend money on a wardrobe for her bc he didn’t want her taking clothes he paid for with her when she left. No one felt the need to go out of their way for her bc she was temporary. No one thought she deserved a nice place to live bc Harry had been happy in Nott Cott (supposedly) and he’ d be fine there when she was gone etc. And they certainly didn’t feel the need to protect her in the press bc she wasn’t worth risking their relationship with the press since again, she was considered to be temporary.
Then as you said @ABritGuest she announced her pregnancy and everything shifted bc all of a sudden it was clear that even if their marriage ended as hoped, she would still be around via her child and there was a sense of a panic which we saw play out in the press.
It is interesting; enough time has passed that we’re getting a new perspective on this sequence of events. Though I do still believe the enthusiastic response to H&M during Oceania – particularly since it recalled Charles’ experience with Diana on a similar trip – was always going to be a problem for him, whether or not Meghan’s pregnancy was announced at the same time. Those two things together must have been his worst nightmare. And this, not long after Philip had retired and Charles has succeeded in planting his own man as TQ’s private secretary, who would slowly begin to manipulate the monarch BTS. Ah well, best laid plans and all that.
Also interesting – Seward, like Fitzwilliams, was part of the phony review of Meghan’s Oprah interview. But unlike him, she does seem to occasionally have a nugget of real information, like this.
So interesting how the narrative is evolving. This makes me wonder even more why they agreed to allow the marriage. If they thought this was one of Harry’s whims, it’s an expensive and splashy way to do it. Did they need this marriage for some reason? Did they need the glamour and controversy to deflect from something else?
They would have married anyway whether it was “allowed” or not. They let divorced people in the family remarry. Divorced Peter Phillips was openly dating someone whose divorce had not yet been finalized. And out of desperation someone contacted Tom Markle so Meghan would have to fly over to see him and postpone (cancel?) the wedding.
🎯
@eurydice i think they “allowed” it* for a few reasons, including they thought it would make them look like “very much not a racist family” because they “welcomed” the Black American (it wasn’t their fault she couldn’t cut it and left after a few years!) and they considered it kind of playing along with Harry – “okay you want to get married, so get married and then when it doesn’t work out come crawling back to William as his press shield for the rest of you life. hey we tried to make you happy, not our fault it didn’t work out!!!!!”
*I doubt they could have stopped harry anyway
@Tessa – It wasn’t about Meghan being divorced. Harry’s place in the line of succession meant that the Queen would have to approve of the marriage. If Harry married without the Queen’s approval, then he and his children would be removed from the line of succession.
Looking back, I wonder if the wider family, especially Charles, Camilla, William and Kate were shocked that the queen gave permission. I’m just surprised if they weren’t already pressuring her or poisoning her to say no to the marriage. Or they were and she ignored them, idk. Were they afraid of looking racist? Anti-American? Maybe. But if she had said no, they might have banked on just sending out the eventual message that it didn’t work out and expected Harry to go along with that narrative. Not that Harry would have done it but they would’ve expected him to support the monarchy even if it meant lying. But let’s say the queen refused and Harry married her anyways. They would have been happy with that too bc the kids would’ve been out of the line of succession. Once the engagement was public there was nothing to do but appear supportive. Im’ kind of laughing bc how angry were they at the queen for even saying yes? But yes, the engagement and the smear campaign ended up being a great distraction so they took advantage of it. Even if it eventually backfired on them.
I think Charles and William were causing the trouble. I don’t think the Queen would have considered not allowing it. Harry was fed up before he met Meghan and I think he’d have chosen Meghan in a heartbeat if it was line of succession vs. Meghan.
@Becks1 – yes, I think Harry would have married Meghan without approval. And maybe BP thought Harry removing himself from the line of succession would cause a giant scandal, so they came up with this stupidly convoluted plan to get rid of Meghan after the fact. It’s such a weird story, but it seems as if it couldn’t have ended any other way. The monarchy is an immovable object.
The BRF wouldn’t have had valid reasons to deny the marriage- they couldn’t claim because she was divorced (hello Charles, Camilla, Anne, Andrew). On paper Meghan was an ideal royal bride- already doing charity work, comfortable with public speaking, UN woman role. And because Harry & Meghan’s relationship was already public it would be easy for the public to speculate real reason for not allowing Harry to marry her was because of her mixed race or American background which would have made the BRF look terrible. Either racist or xenophobic towards someone from their biggest alily. Even trying to claim a marriage was rejected because she’s an actress would have made the BRF look stuffy & old fashioned. And hypocritical seeing as nobody in the family had briefed about an issue with Cressida when she dated Harry & Sophie winkleman who is married to Fred Windsor, is an actress.
The BRF knew that if Harry was serious about Meghan they couldn’t be seen as rejecting the marriage for PR reasons. And I think the more ‘pragmatic’ types like the Queen who perhaps were more in favour of the union, thought Meghan could be good for the monarchy’s image in the commonwealth etc
I think William was deployed to try talk Harry out of marriage with various “reasons” of why it wouldn’t work rather than the brf outright rejecting it. my conspiracy theory is also that a royal insider briefed the press on the relationship initially in order for the resulting bigoted press to put Meghan off the relationship altogether. I think the palace being over bearing with her Suits work was also meant to have same effect & make her think she was giving up too much.
Once that failed the BRF didn’t want to be seen as withholding approval for the marriage but went around placing roadblocks to put H&M off eg not wanting to give Meghan security in 2017, Charles claiming they couldn’t pay for her so she would need to keep working etc. they probably hoped that Meghan working away from Harry would put strain on the relationship. I also think that the Wales being a nightmare to Meghan was meant to put her off joining the family too.
Princess Margaret chose the line of succession over the man she loved. I wonder if she ever regretted it.
@Jais, I also hesitate to talk about TQ as part of a larger conspiracy against Meghan. I don’t think she was, for several reasons, the most important being, Harry and Meghan have never expressed anything but love and respect for her and Philip, and continued that close relationship after moving to the US. We know Meghan had a thumbs up from the corgis (and Guy got a ride in TQ’s car), and TQ would certainly want to avoid something like the mess with Margaret years earlier. Harry, one of her favorite grandchildren, was, finally, blissfully happy, and hardworking, intelligent, compassionate Meghan was the polar opposite of lazy Kate. Taking Meghan on that royal train trip right after their wedding was a vote of confidence. So was the (unexpected) H&M solo entry into the church for her Jubbly years later. And then there’s the backchannel conspiracy with Harry to meet with her without telling Charles, just before IG Hague.
Most likely, TQ was aware of what the rest of her family thought regarding Meghan – maybe they were trying to pressure her about the marriage – and didn’t appear to do anything to counteract their activities later. But she knew Charles, and the woman he was married to: “your father does what he wants” (see Spare). Not sure she was in a position to do much in her later years, and once Philip retired. Maybe she didn’t realize how bad it would get, or thought Harry would be able to manage it.
What is the point of this story? Sewage is the liar in chief (with that other beckie troll) we know the royal family never thought the marriage would last more than 4 years ( Sophie’s comment about degree wife) Sophie is stupid, ignorant, gullible, offensive and racist but she’s the temperature of the rest of them.
The easy answer is that Sewer needs her paycheck.
Indeed! The more offensive the better
Putting Diana on the cover of Majesty and articles about her,helped sell Majesty issues. When she turned on Diana all bets were off and the magazine is not as popular to say the least. She wrote several Diana bashing books. In the Queen and Di, she actually applauded the Queen “putting up” with Philip’s behavior and how dare Diana complain. She also blamed Diana for Charles having an affair with Camilla, never mind that the affair started before he even courted Diana. She played up to the royals but like Beckham she will probably want to be “rewarded” by Charles for trashing Diana, Harry, and Meghan. She really needs to retire. And wanting a couple to divorce is reprehensible and in her bizarro world she thinks it is “good” for the senior royals to wish divorce,
Sophie is probably fuming that Meghan did better at running a business than Sophie could even dream of. Sophie had to wait for years for Edward to decide to marry her. Sophie is very spiteful. I hope her kids don’t turn out that way.
“Meghan and Harry look so happy that they cannot possibly be happy” LOL the desperate denial of this thought process is killing me.
😂😂😂
Exactly!!!!
The Holmes guy, that said the Sussexes should be thrown off the balcony at BP, fell off his chair live on Air, before that he feel down 18 steps in his house and his wife left him.
Nasty Lorraine, that invites guests on her show to bash Meghan, ITV cut 200 jobs, and Lorraine’s loose Women show, will be cut from 1 hour to 30 minutes for 6 months.
It’s been a good week 🤗😉
Holmes with the uppity comment? Ah the universe really rights the course.
Karma is a grown and sexy bitch!
As my mother would say, isn’t God good?
This was just an eye rolling 🙄 read.. have these people never been on Pinterest or any creative ideas websites.. I was doing collages like this for graduation parties over twenty years ago and I’ve never lived in California.
Those gutter rats are annoyed because as one of the chief rats stated, “you can look but you can not touch.” The Sussex’s are controlling their own narrative by releasing what they feel comfortable sharing, for them this is their definition of privacy. The amount of column inches and shows dedicated to one couple is mind blowing. Anyone seeing this couple out and about or interacting with them can see they are deeply in love and appear even more so since leaving captivity.
The board reflected some of their 7 year journey while allowing us all a peep into their lives as a family. Most normal people do this the old fashioned way with scrap books (some digitally),Meghan decided to share this with their audience through a mood boards. What is there not to understand? This was just a scrap book turned into a mood board. I would imagine there are thousands of pictures she has saved of their life journey thus far and shared a few she feels comfortable sharing. Those folks are shook the Sussexes are controlling their own narrative now while debunking nonsense without words.
Predicting the demise of someone’s marriage is macabre.
It’s not “their” definition of privacy, Maxine Branch, it IS the definition of privacy 🙂 . But I agree with your broader points.
Calling Meghan narcissistic for sharing her memories on her anniversary—all the while ole Ingrid chain smokes while going over Meghan’s mood board with magnifying glass.
Hateful old cow.
Harry shows affection to his wife so it’s mutual Ingrid. So by Ingrid definition of narcissism than that is evident in the keens. Kate prancing around a field and putting move s on William before cameras
Someone should do a board of Kate and Williams trajectory , embarrassing as heck ..all the flying skirt shots , butt patting attempts , rolling around in a haystack or was it a beach ..and finally it looks like he can’t even stand to look at her , let alone touch her with a barge pole. Their poor kids are old enough to cringe ..it’s obvious love has flown the coop. You cannot fake it .
Sewer is too dumb to create her own board.
Correction. She does not have any happy photos for her own board.
She’s describing the keens who keep having reporters write how happy they are. She does not mention the oh how happy we are commercials of the keens. Where Kate shows lots pda to huevo and he looks uncomfortable. So is not that narcissistic ingrid.Mood boards are not just popular in California. Ingrid was gaslighting Diana after Diana died. What a bitter person Ingrid is.
C-word?
Kaiser, I’m surprised at you. We all know you value accuracy, and that woman has neither the depth nor the warmth.
If we’re punning on her name — which I strongly encourage — surely the more accurate direction to take would be >>>Sew-age?? 😎
The telling quote is this – “Meghan is just so Californian in everything she does. And that is not a criticism, that’s the way they do things.” In other words, they hate her just for who she is.
W&K horrible attempt to create a Mother’s Day, and it’s fall out, pic was a global scandal. Yeah, they are just a bit peeved that Meghan post pics on the daily and has 3M followers. Speaking of narcissists celebrating their anniversary, there is nothing like the Hair Shampoo/anniversary video of W&K to make you vomit.
W and K sitting in the woods in those shorts and Kate putting the moves on William while he looks uncomfortable, is downright embarrassing. And the kids running around on logs and Keen running through fields and looking for butterflies. Ingrid is such a hypocrite.
Omg, these people are so delusional. Their envy doesn’t give them any authority. All that psychobabble about California and the anniversary post. They’re so desperate to justify their envious hatreds and projections, which are obviously overwhelming to them and unmanageable. They make literally no sense when they try to make Meghan or Harry resemble their own projections, they just sound in desperate need of therapy.
I think going on TV shows to bitch about Meghan is their therapy after their collective trauma when the Sussexes escaped their prison. Except it’s not the therapy that would make them less bitter.
They have no insight nor self-awareness. So all I’m glad to say is that Meghan is alive and well and thriving far from the poison that inflicts the Palaces.
I bet they do feel like it’s their therapy or that they’re getting revenge or getting their authority back or something, but it’s about as effective as using drugs to escape reality – they’re just staying stuck in their own envy-hatred. They could consider just not paying her any attention but they want to inflict something on her so they cannot stop. Oh yes, it is SO good that Meghan is living her best life and staying FAR away from them. Let them eat flower sprinkles.
So Seward was disappointed that a marriage did not break up? Such an embarrassment.
What kind of person roots for a couple’s divorce?
Oh, that’s right, the family that doesn’t know whatever love means. And that family’s vile followers.
I watched this video. Ingrid Seward was so ridiculous in her criticism that Jack Royston and Matt Wilkinson were actually defending H&M to her. Probably because they realized nothing Meghan put out was as narcissistic as Kate’s “remission” video and it made them all look stupid. What a lonely, bitter and angry dried up old hag.
“Surely if they really were as happy as she makes out she wouldn’t need to tell anyone.”
— LOL wait til she finds out about the soft-core blue movie that the PoW made with her hubby.
I know, right? If Meghan creating a photo collage for her own wedding anniversary is narcissistic, I shudder as to how dear old Ingrid will deal with the Princess of Wales video series all about the seasons, showing video clips of herself and the family to illustrate.
They did everything they could from the beginning to make the relationship impossible and so painful for Meghan that she would voluntarily leave them. They hoped that the relationship would only be worth status to her and that she would not be willing to endure the daily mental pain that this country, its press and its royal family inflicted and continue to inflict on her. They thought they could make this innocent, loving woman say goodbye through the abnormal cruelties they inflicted on her daily. In whatever way they could. And again, these vile, unworthy people are surprised that she is alive and happy with her husband and children. What kind of black hell do these people live in?
to quote my favourite writer, Gore Vidal: “Narcissism is a quality we attribute to those more attractive than ourselves.”
Except Trump. He’s a true narc.
“…Majesty, a magazine that still exists….” oh, Kaiser, how you do speak to my soul and oh, how I cackled at that line, because truly, it is a thing of truth and beauty.
It is not a best seller. I don’t see it on US newsstands anymore. It is a propaganda machine for her friends the royals. imo
Just wait until Kate posts a moodboard about Mother Nature, I’m sure moodboards will be the best thing ever invented then.
What’s a degree wife? It’s not a phrase I’ve come across before. I assume it’s unkind, but that’s all I’ve got.
Think it means that it will last no longer than the time that it would take to get a degree. Around 4 years.
It means the marriage will last around 3-4 years – enough time to get a degree.
It’s like calling someone a starter wife. In the UK a degree takes 3 years, so they’re saying the marriage would only last that long.
The degree wife was Lazy because they met at university. But her mother’s intervention ensured the stunted growth and the idle shitshow that we see today.
Harry’s degree wife was Chelsy – she even did a postgraduate degree so she lasted longer.
I suppose it’s a take on college sweethearts. They rarely go further on to marriage. Or if they are, they would be the first wife as they grow apart and falter.
The Wales’ marriage is hanging on because really, that’s the only thing saving Willy from a fate like his father.
William was hoping for another prospect like Jecca. He kept Kate waiting for years before he “settled” for her. The ones he wanted did not want him.
Thank you all for the explanations.
H and M have proved everyone wrong. They’ve been together long enough to get a couple of undergraduate degrees and be well into their masters.
And how shitty to wish for a family member’s marriage to fail leaving them miserable and vulnerable.
Bad for the children as well.
This heated reaction over Meghan’s anniversary post is because she is showing them, to their face, that they are doing great. The way people sit around placing bets on this couple’s marriage is disgusting. They are so eager to show their hatred and racism towards Meghan that it ends up exposing how insincere and cruel the royals were from the beginning, and also shows how disrespectful they are towards Harry. They give it 5 years, degree wife, etc. I still believe to this day they never wanted Harry to marry at all and there is a visceral anger that he not only did that, but to someone as beautiful and charismatic as Meghan and outside their narrow little world.
I don’t think they expected Harry to marry at all. He had had too many broken relationships already.
But the good thing that he learnt from them were life lessons on how to be a good partner. And he really, desperately wanted to be a husband and father.
Willy didn’t because there were so many eager candidates that he fell into the trap that was the most common of all – the social climber whose love for him was secondary to the social elevation she and her family would receive: titles, coat of arms, money.
Chelsy and Harry had some years of dating, but it did not stand the test of time.He did not exactly “play the field.” I think Cressida was a sort of rebound. Then he met Meghan. After Chelsy and Harry broke up Kate as a “joke” gave him the build a girlfriend kit. Kate was all flirty with Harry and I think did not want Harry to marry. She was cold to Meghan. And she and Chelsy were not pals. to say the least.
And William was “guarded” and “protected” by Keen to fend off other women who approached him or acted flirty. Maybe the women Keen “protected him from” would have been a lot better than Kate is. William should have told Kate to Mind her own business when she was rushing over if she saw a woman coming on to William. Kate was “just a friend” then. And William would “thank her” if Kate told the other woman they were dating and she was his girlfriend (even before she actually was)
Poor old Ingrid is really grasping at straws here. Meghan is celebrating her wedding anniversary (seven years after, as Ms. Seward points out, Harry’s family was so charmingly telling everyone that it wouldn’t last). And Ingrid is complaining that Meghan is sharing a photo collage,
but then simultaneously complaining that what she shared was too small to see? What? For goodness sake, show this woman any social media account and also how to use a zoom button. Please and thank you.
Seward’s British snobbishness oozes from every pore of her being. “Meghan is so Californian” what exactly does she mean by that comment? “I have never known anyone have a mood board” tough, the world doesn’t rotate around you Seward. Remember this is a person who has never lost an opportunity to bash Meghan. Meghan with her mood board is telling it how it is, she is happy and in love with her husband and her children and the UK media and their experts can take a flying leap.
Seward has a history, she gaslit Diana for years and still does. She should be ashamed.
Sheesh way back when I had a Beach Boys collage and I’m not from CA. ☺️
My mom taught me from an early age that if/when other kids said mean, untrue things about me, it just meant they were jealous and/or insecure about themselves and their own lives. Not sure I always believed it, but I still acted as if it were always true. That thinking allowed me to stay above the fray and to view bullies as sad, little people. I raised my daughter to believe the same thing.
It’s hard to imagine the unbridled jealousy and seething rage that exists (not *below,* the surface, but right on top for the whole world to see) in that awful family. Thankfully, it’s obvious Meghan learned early on that living well is the best revenge and that those sad little people in, and adjacent to the RF (including the bitter mouthpieces in the BM) are just pathetic losers who hate their own lives.
It’s astonishing that Charles, Willy, Kate (and their advisors) still don’t understand how petty and pathetic they appear to the outside world for their relentless attacks on, and constant attempts to hurt Harry and Megan, who’ve clearly moved on, rather than focusing on the people they’re supposed to support.
The RF members seem so tone deaf and un-self aware, it makes one wonder if their advisors are actively *trying* to destroy them.
Jesus, that picture with them all sitting together tells it all. They look like they’re at a funeral. Their collective hatred is beyond Meghan, it’s mostly about race. Race is the driving force of their hatred for her.
Ah, the “money-for-hire” Ingrid is still bitter that Harry did not take back Cressida and married her so Ingrid could get many first-hand exclusives about the Royals (Harry).
The hate for a black woman really makes these RR, commentators, and Royalists becoming uglier everyday goes by.
Well. The Susssexes showed them. I think the Windsors wanted Meghan to marry in to bolster the “We are not a racist family” argument with a coordinated planned intent of making her life hell until she divorced Harry or worse. They just never thought Harry had the backbone to leave with her and thrive without their handouts. I wonder if some of the tension between Charles and Willy isn’t the fact that the media campaign they both participated in resulted in Harry leaving and never coming back. None of them thought Harry would leave. Willy seems to have planned his entire future around bullying and manipulating Harry into doing his work and being his fall guy. He really expected his brother never to marry/have a family of his and he will never pivot from the smears. At 80 he will still be incandescent that Harry left and briefing against the Sussexes unless the public put a stop to it. Lort. The old time rota “journalists” are all just completely demented and pathological. This old hag is one of the most unpleasant.
“Meghan is just so Californian”
Yeah she’s a California girl. Thank goodness! Instead of being a miserable lot like some of them over there.
I’m not a native speaker – but doesn’t “it lasted seven” imply that it doesn’t last longer than seven?
