British royal palace fires back at
Meghan Markle for 'bullying' the help

Original Article

Most people are canny enough to know that when someone advertises himself or herself as a certain kind of thing, the opposite is likely to be the case. Think: "Honest John's Used Cars." "Mom's Cooking." "We're from the government and we're here to help." "I'm a lady." Which brings us to Meghan Markle, the Hollywood B-list actress who finagled a role for a couple of years as the Duchess of Sussex. After telling us how selfless she was for ditching the royal family in order to go make money (off of them, no less), including a coming March 8 tell-all interview to Oprah Winfrey, here's the biteback from Buckingham Palace:

"How do you feel about the palace hearing you speak your truth today?" Winfrey, 67, asked Meghan in the sneak peek shared by CBS Wednesday. What is this B.S. about speaking "your truth"? I see that in the media all the time now, usually when a liberal is saying something with no basis in fact. There is not your truth, their truth and my truth. There is the truth and there are lies.

I think it's cute that the royal family serves as a kind of Barbie & Ken enterprise for the entire UK.

AS we tune in today ( cue up that miserable organ music ) we find that Sparkle Farkle Markel aka the Dukette is not the saint she portrays on T.V. Seems the " help " has gone public with the truth and Sparkle Farkel is no Mother Teresa. Whining to Oprah , even with her hand on the baby bump is not going to help. What about Prince Harkel aka the Duke, is this the privacy he gave up everything and everyone for? Will baby Arkle, will does he know that the Dukette are marketing him to the highest bidder ? When will Sparkle Farkel realize that The Queen never loses ? For the answer to these and other unimportant questions, tune in next week, next month or next year for another chapter of " The Unmerry Wife of Windsor " late of Canada and L.A now appearing for cold cash , in Santa Barbara or anyplace where someone has deep pockets.

If she and Hapless Harry go too far in their Oprah interview, the QEII just might yank her HRH, and "Duchess" title. Shades of the Duke of Windsor and Wallis Simpson. There's only so much a family should have to tolerate from an ungrateful grandchild/son/sibling and his trashy, trailer park, B-actress wife. The signs were there from the beginning - the way she treated her father, her siblings hate her guts, she had a reputation for being a diva, etc. Harry should have run for the hills, but Harry isn't the brightest bulb on the Christmas tree (how can he be with his dull, pretentious father and his dim bulb mother) so he didn't. The only thing that surprises me is how quickly the whole thing unraveled

#8 Like Kamala, Markle earned her living as a special kind of escort. "Yacht Girl" has political aspirations in the US but is fighting hard to retain the title of HRH and Duchess. This is the month that HRM Queen Elizabeth is slated to give a final answer to the year-long "grace period" she promised her grandson. It has been very frustrating to watchers that she has been so silent on the matter. I think investigators in the US need to start digging into who Markle's backers were and are. She had some meetings with PIAPS and Obamalamadingdong/TheWookie. There is some suspicion that she was set up to be a special kind of Mata Hari to get the Royal Family in its clutches. Or she could have just been extremely lucky in finding that one weak spot where she could terrorize the Institution. Frankly I think the slag has been given WAY too much power. This month will be the last chance, I think, for the Queen to put the kibosh on a nasty malignant narcissist who is just burning for a take down.

I have known quite a few wonderfully good-hearted men who were tripped up by a deceptively charming, sociopathic woman. Harry was an easy mark and I have read that his brother (and others) tried to get him to see the light before the wedding. Now he has been estranged from the people who care most about him. Either he will eventually get tired of Meghan's tantrums or he will continue to allow himself to be pecked and pummeled into a total nothing. His children will see him as weak and they will be easily turned against him. Truly a sad story whatever you think of his parents. Ramona (the Pest)

I lived in Santa Barbara for a number of years. Some of it in Montecito. They would be very big on royalty there. For a while. But they would NOT like Meghan. Too nouveau riche, too pushy. I can’t imagine Oprah’s being a big hit there, either. They very much liked the few actors who lived there, but kept very low profiles: Eva Marie Saint, Jonathon Winters come to mind. Julia Child. They went there to be ordinary people for at least part of their lives. Meghan is too common to understand that.

I only hope this is the end of her and that Oprah's ratings go south. Trash is what trash does. BP and The Queen have done everything to accommodate this nasty woman knowing full well the disaster that was going to come. The Royal Family always covered for Harry's temper tantrums but no more. He is a grown man now with serious mental problems that are coming out now that he is not sheltered by his family any longer. I said it before, and I say it again. My sister in law is bipolar so I have a little experience with the subject. I think Harry is bipolar and have mental instability. This requires medication - strong stuff. Look the way he looks now. You can see he has his ups and downs. Eventually, the yacht girl will divorce him taking everything and he eventually will overdose.

As I recall, an ancestor of one of her parents met Henry VIII's executioner. Seems old Henry was right about this line. She knew exactly how to play Harry and hooked him well. Takes a nervy woman to get a guy to give up his heritage like Harry did.

Their sob stories aren’t playing so well in the US. Harry is the real victim here but he is a victim of his own stupidity so you can’t really feel sorry for him. She got promoted from a relatively unknown actress among thousands to pretend Royalty thru marriage. The social climb is a bit steeper on this side of the ocean.

I have read many articles about Nasty Megan but never once did I hear that she had been bullied while growing up. She was always treated like a princess in her white family; I don't know how they felt about her in her Black family since she never refers to them. Her father took care of her and paid for her education and introduced her to Hollywood where he worked. I saw pictures of her as a young woman sitting in front of Buckinham Palace. Who paid for that? After all of that, she trashed her family and refused to invite them to her wedding. She lived with a man for years before marrying him and then two years later, divorced him by email. Such a nice person! Now, she has destroyed Harry's relationship with his family who by the way are the reason she married him in the first place. It's called being a Social Climber. She did not even know Oprah before her marriage to a Prince. She is a spoiled brat and England is well rid of her. Hope America is paying attention. She is out for money and power. Maybe she has gained the whole world but has lost her soul. Too bad.

Meaghan is not nearly as clever as she thinks she is. And I doubt her acting skills have improved enough the change anyone’s minds about her. Her timing is way off, thinking Hollywood has that much power, has she not noticed hardly anyone watches Golden Globes, Oscars, movies any more? People are sick of spoiled frauds.

There is a huge contrast between Meghan Markle who grew up as a very liberal California girl and a so-called B list actress, and the British Royal Family that is seeped in tradition going back over hundreds of years who are expected in turn for the British and Commonwealth peoples granting them Royal status to represent those peoples through established “duties” and traditions as the Queen and Prince Phillip have done for so many decades and generations. If you remember it was reported that after it came to their attention that Prince Harry was getting serious with Meghan that Prince Phillip and Prince William called Harry in and reminded him that Meghan was an actress and as such it was OK for Harry to take Meghan out and have “fun” with but not to marry her. You can bet that sit down discombobulated Harry to no end, and that sit down was the catalyst for the civil war between Harry and Meghan and the Royal family. What was not reported, but you can bet that both Phillip and William knew, was that the Royal family considered Meghan not to be a suitable spouse for Harry in that she is not only an actress, but is depicted in hard porn videos of herself doing the nasty with an unidentified male and giving another unidentified male oral sex on the Internet that is easy for anyone, if so disposed, to find within five minutes and a few clicks. If those videos were not legitimate you can bet that Meghan would have filed civil actions to get them off the Internet after she met Harry, but if she were to do that it would entail her going through a so-called discovery process, that would likely discover more such videos, and worldwide media interest. She could not have that! No doubt Oprah is a muckraker who is taking advantage of both Meghan and Harry by interviewing them while trying to dig up dirt on the Royal family. Apparently both Meghan and Harry are too stupid and greedy for cash to figure that out. If Meghan was smart and did not bully members of the staff while she was residing in the Royal Palaces she should have just kept her mouth shut and any inquiry conducted by the Queen’s representative would have figured that out. Bottom line whatever happens in the future, Meghan will never be the Queen of England.

We Southeners of a certain age knew all there was to know about Miss Markle at first glance. It’s called “tacky.” And then some. Proof that money doesn’t buy manners, honor, grace. Bless her po’ lil heart, that spoiled chile doesn’t come from much, and it shows. People who abuse the help (why, hello, Hillary!) show themselves to be unworthy of association with decent folk. What a shame. Markle could have had a splendid life, adored and celebrated, but she apparently can’t help being the center of her own little sordid drama. I hope the Queen cuts them off entirely, not to be mentioned again.

Talk about privilege!!! Harry has had it and then some. Shame on him for allowing her to trash his family. If he had been plain Harry Nobody, she would not have given him a second look. He has money and fame because of his family and because of England. They should ban him for life and cut off all financial aid. She would leave him in a minute.I feel really sorry for their children.

Friends from Meghan’s teenage years claim that Meghan was a big time Princess Diana groupie, so when she met Harry you can bet with her prior life experiences that she had Harry’s number right from the get-go. The big deal from Meghan’s viewpoint now is to get as close to the Hollywood crowd as possible, to suck up as much entertainment industry money as possible, and stay in California, a community property State so that if it comes necessary to dump poor Harry that she will have the maximum amount of leverage during divorce proceedings for herself and her children.

There’ve also been newsworthy moments when parents spoke out about Critical Race Theory in the school district. One of the most explosive moments occurred when the school board, tired of having angry parents (i.e., voters) yell at them, called the cops, with several arrests, including that of one man getting physically dragged out.

Now she's got a tell-all book out, looking to make some money off her eight-years-in-the-Trump administration experience, and more likely to sidle back into the good graces of news outlets such as MSNBC, possibly to win a commentator slot. Tell-all books are useful vehicles for that. But is she telling all? Turns out she's making things up. According to Business Insider:

This is what Dr. Robert Malone, inventor of the mRNA technology warned about. The spike proteins are not staying at the injection site and they are dangerous. Protein in the blood can be very dangerous. A Canadian cancer vaccine researcher said last week, “We made a big mistake.

President Biden on Thursday said the number of unvaccinated Americans still remains "unacceptably high," but insisted that his administration's vaccine requirements for the federal workforce and private employers are "working" to ensure more individuals receive shots to protect against COVID-19.

Washington–Former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe has won back his full pension as part of a settlement of his lawsuit arising from his firing during the Trump administration more than three years ago, his lawyers announced Thursday. McCabe, a frequent target of then-President Donald Trump’s ire, was fired in March 2018 by then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions after the Justice Department’s inspector general determined he had misled internal investigators about his involvement in a news media leak. The termination came hours before he was to have retired, denying him his pension. McCabe has denied intentionally deceiving anyone, was never criminally charged and blasted his firing as politically motivated.

During the 2020 election, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg spent hundreds of millions of dollars to turn out likely Democratic voters. But this wasn’t traditional political spending.

In places like Georgia, when Biden won by 12,000 votes, and Arizona, where he won by 10,000, the spending likely put him over the top.

CNN sounded the alarm Monday over recent campaign blunders made by Democratic Virginia gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe, suggesting his comments could jeopardize his already slim margins in the race against Republican businessman Glenn Youngkin. During a discussion about the race on CNN's "Inside Politics," host John King admitted it was "noteworthy" to see a Democratic candidate playing cleanup so close to the end of the race considering Virginia had been trending more and more towards Democrats. He specifically pointed to comments McAuliffe made about President Joe Biden's downward trending poll numbers and parents not having a say on what their kids learn in school as the reason his edge

Walgreens is shuttering another five of its stores in crime-ridden San Francisco because of rampant shoplifting by thieves who waltz past security guards and sell the items outside the drugstore chain's doors. The national chain has closed 17 of its 70 San Francisco locations in the past two years because of the shelf raiders, who have swiped everything not behind lock and key. Thefts in the chain's 53 remaining stores are five times the average for their stores elsewhere in the country, according to company officials. San Francisco and Walgreens officials have cited 'organized retail crime' -

The number of illegal migrants released into the United States by the Biden administration is staggering. Fox News obtained an exclusive story with documents from the Border Patrol. They are being released with little or no supervision and no fear of deportation. The fact is that no matter how many times DHS Secretary Mayorkas says the border is closed, the numbers don’t lie. Since March, at least 160,000 illegal migrants have been released into the United States. There is a broad use of limited parole authority that made more than 30,000 migrants eligible for work permits
