Little Archie's Christening Photo

You couldn't find a smaller one, OP? Here's an extremely zoomable version.

Thanks

This is OP, trying to determine who's who in the first image.

Is that Bea Arthur in the back with the fedora? Whoever it is seems 2-Spirited.

Why isn’t the Queen in the photo?

Kate looks dangerously thin

Meghan's mom looks fabulous-- love the suit and the turban.

Like Harry's casual look very much.

Yes, Kate looks terrific in the different shades of red.

Where are Anne and Andrew? Zara and Bea?

Could they not have found a place for Imelda Staunton?

I think that Quentin Crisp behind Meghan.

The two women between Meghan's mom and William are Diana's sisters.

Panama Hattie is Lady Jane Fellowes, and crinkly pink is Lady Sarah McCorquodale, sisters of Diana.

[quote] Why isn’t the Queen in the photo?

The Queen had to take a shit. They waited as long as they could, but they had chili for lunch and everyone knows what happens when the Queen has chili for lunch.

The queen said she had prior engagements. It's still somewhat seen as a snub of Harry and Meghan. Although she didn't attend Louis' christening either

Kate looks great there.

Oh, was there some sort of event? I couldn't be bothered to attend. I only attend christenings for children with real names and titles.

If Diana'a sisters were there, why weren't Anne or Andrew oe Edward there?

When did William get so tall?

Are they close to Harry R17? I have never heard they were

No doubt Diana's sisters were there as Diana's representatives.

What about Earl Spencer?

Where was Diana's bother? I think he lives in South Africa so he probably doesn't mix with black people.

I think one refers to him as "the Earl Spencer," or "Charles, the Earl Spencer," or "Charles Spencer"--not as "Earl Spencer," as if "Earl" were his first name.

I have to dissent concerning Kate's look. She's too thin, she's hunched up, I don't like the pink with the red, and that neck-to-wrist thing with exposed knees is just disproportionate.

Love the hats on Doria and Kate. Meghan and Camilla wearing extremely similar dresses from the waist up has to be an accident, right?

Meghan's mother is best dressed. I think Kate looks good but not anything exceptional. She's looked much better

And lordy are the blood royals hideous.

Kate is beginning to get that “I’m a foxy older lady on the prowl” facial expression that her mother has.

Diana is in the picture sitting on the couch beside Meghan, you just can't see her.

Meghan looks a lot like her mother.

That baby is beautiful.

Love that the Prince and Princess of Wales were there.

Is Harry wearing a hair piece? I think so.

Well, Archie inherited his mother's crossed eyes.

Camilla always looks half in-the-bag.

That’s the Prince of Whales, dummy R29.

Aka Aquaman

The Spencer sisters are proper old style English aristocrats in wearing perfectly serviceable hats they already own - no need to buy anything new for such an event and waste good money. A dying breed.

OP Learn to attach proper pics...

How do you know if a picture is too small or too large?

R37, it will caress your prostate gently.

r37 Let's just say if Prince Charles' face looks like it's made out of silly putty, the picture is probably too small.

It’s never too large, silly.

Archie is adorable! He looks Harry with Meghan’s eyes

[quote]Let's just say if Prince Charles' face looks like it's made out of silly putty, the picture is probably too small.

Charles looks better than he has in years in OP's fuzzy photo.

Harry does look fantastic. It must kill William that Harry is so much hotter than he is.

That baby is adorable.

Well, Archie inherited his mother's crossed eyes.

That's actually more of a Windsor-Mountbatten trait.

Charles is said to be very fond of Doria. And Doria always comports herself with such class and dignity.

Prince Charles is beginning to look like Grandpa Munster.

Kate is pretty for a girl without lips. Meghan is a beauty. Why does no one ever ask who did Camilla's face work? She looks bloody well considering what she started with. I know the overhaul was years ago, but bitch looks good.

Sexy ass Harry knows that if you have pink ruddy skin that it's best to wear cool colors. The light blue is so right on him. Meg's mom looks fun. That baby will heal the world.

Perhaps Diana's sisters are the godparents?

The Queen is hosting a tea at Balmoral for MM's birthday, so she's hardly snubbing them.

The woman behind Meghan is Mrs. Councillor Nugent, who is there in her official capacity.

All these reports of infighting between Harry/Meghan and the rest of the family is just a bunch of tabloid bullshit.

it’s only coincidence that Meghan and Harry are sitting as far away from William and Kate as they physically can.

[quote]Archie is adorable! He looks Harry with Meghan’s eyes

Not so much like Harry, maybe more like Shaft.

r523 how can you tell? This family is used to setting aside difference in front of a camera. This might have taken half a day, but since William and Kate have like 20 kids they couldn't skip out on their first nephew's christening.

Also, thank you so much to those that have commented and made this a positive thread. We all know how a dedicated few feel about MM, so it's nice to see an objective conversation about a royal family event involving the Sussexes.

I think it's a lovely picture. Archie is as cute af and Harry and Meghan look like proud happy parents. Fuck the nasty cunts in this thread.

I love Harry in his worn out shoes with the blue laces. He's so damn sexy. And yes they do look happy together! Two and done for those two, then off to California. Wait and see.

Love Harry’s blue laces and summer suit. Can’t stand his black socks.

Truth be known, Harry's worn out shoes are hand made and cost £1500.00 a pair.

[quote]When did William get so tall?

Where have you been the past 20 years? William had caught up with his statuesque mom in the last months of her life, and would continue to grow for the next few years.

William couldn't even manage a fake smile for his brother's sake in the christening pic? He's no rookie; he knows how the press are, and that they'll be analyzing his stink face for the next few months.

Damn, Diana always looks so put together. She was just one of those people that had style for days.

r62 let's just leave it at that because once we go down that road, this thread will turn into a knife fight.

Couldn't that cow Camillia break down and get her choppers fixed?

At first glance I thought the woman behind MM's hat was Camilla, and thought wow, she's punking with that get-up.

The edges of the sofa are chipped.

Do you think any of the family members wander around there and just chill out in one of those fabulous rooms to read a book or something? I'm one of those odd guys that tries to use all the furniture in a hotel room at least once if I stay somewhere for more than a day, so I would probably use each room for something every year or so.

That's a beautiful room. Is that Buckingham Palace? Diana's sisters look cool af

Why are we pretending any of these people look attractive?

Charles/Camilla/Bea Arthur/That other lady: Ugly

William/Harry/Doria: Homely to average.

Kate: Serviceable

Meghan: Facially cute, but not beautiful.

The baby: Unless its "special" They all look the same until they are older.

It's Windsor Castle

William should be in the ugly category R70

William has a big cock.

12 inches on a ruler?

Oh well. I think it's a lovely photo, and I'm happy for them. Harry looks overjoyed. I can't (won't) fault any of fashion choices, and I'd kill for that green fabric used throughout the room (off to eBay for a facsimile).

I love the gold trim on the sofa but I fear it would look a little ghetto-fabulous if I had it in my apartment.

Doria’s TURBAN!!! Girl knows how to exotify that stuffy English fashion. Slay mama!

They purposely coordinate that day, right? Can’t be mere coincidence they all gel in the photo...I mean, what if they decided to wear canary yellow or something?

[quote]Kate is beginning to get that “I’m a foxy older lady on the prowl” facial expression that her mother has.

LOL, r27. She's no doubt thrilled Queenie sat this one out so she could show some thigh.

I think Kate will try to pop one more out.

Whatever Harry is doing to his hair, I want. Thicker and redder. Meghan must be molding him and sharing her Hollywood secrets. Like Tom and Giselle. He looks better now that he’s under her guidance.

R80, Have you tried Biotin? Guaranteed to work.

Runny nose picture-poster, Are you saying someone's an over-partier?

For entertainment purposes. imagine, after a number of drinks, Diana's sisters herding Camilla into a secluded alcove, and confronting her about her evil manipulations against Diana! Drunken recriminations and hair-pulling! If this were my family, it would happen!

R81, I've heard Biotin can cause awful acne. I'm thinking of trying collagen peptides to thicken my hair.

Hey William! There’s so many flavors and you had to choose SALTY, dincha?

That grimace tho!

Oh honey, I’ve been on biotin for years. That’s definitely more than biotin.

William is practicing being regal.

Kate would look fabulous in 70s fashion. It flatters a thin frame. She has that Charlie’s Angels thin brow, thin lip look. A nice change from the American desire for Instagram bushy brows and trout pout.

Diana's sisters are old school aristocrats. They understood that Royals have paramours.

R88 There are common affairs and there's... what Charles did. That was not normal even for a royal

Yes, R87, she has that WASP look so valued by anglophiles.

[quote] Kate would look fabulous in 70s fashion.

And you'd be right. About a month ago, she was pictured wearing high-waisted wide legged pants. She looked fabulous.

I'll try to link it.

R89, what is not normal is what Diana did.

Thanks r93

I mean r91

High waist, wide leg pants.

I hate skinny jeans. I'm so glad if that look is done.

"Whatever Harry is doing to his hair, I want. Thicker and redder. "

He's rapidly going bald in back. Maybe he's using Rogaine to make what he has look thicker.

I wonder where Doria gets her fashion sense?

It's probably too late for William to try anything with his hair, but Harry should do what he can to take care of and save his.

I guess I didn't realize William was such a sourpuss. Liking Harry more and more these days.

Just because I played Margaret Thatcher, they went and invited Glenn to the christening!

Kate really is the winner here, although Meghan looks radiant. The way she knows to pose at a 3/4 turn, arch her back/lean in and lift her knees a little to perk up her legs. Compare to Camilla’s stance, which is less flattering. Looks right into camera and gives genuine smile. Flashes ring.

Does anyone have photos from the event? I would love to see her hair from behind... Is that another turban style hat? That pussyish bow in the front-Melania must be green with envy!

We've read that Charles and Doria have developed a friendship: if that's true, that's wonderful. Doria certainly didn't get much support from her ex-husband and his family. And (I hate to be the one to say it), but for everyone expecting Meghan to be shown the door very soon, the presence of the two (expected) future Kings and their consorts would seem to say otherwise. I'm an old asshole, but I want the best for that little sprog, who had no choice in his provenance. None of us do, really. I'm also mischievous R82, but I alternate between silliness and sentiment with these threads. A photo of a happy family may be all artifice, but it's something many of us aspire to.

Is Archie transitioning already?

Heard from a very inside source that the RF love Doria.

R95, WOW! That blouse...the color, the pants, the fluidity of the material. Slim lady. Love to see her in these more casual yet chic looks. 70s vibes totally.

R103, If the RF love Doria, and they should, then why didn't she spend Christmas with them?

Carrie looks quite fetching in that picture. I love his suit.

Where's George?

So modern, an unexpected red shoe. Avoiding the matchy matchy or typical coordinates.

r95 it's a nice blouse, but since Kate doesn't have a waist is shows how much weight she dropped. I don't think it was a good look for her at all. She just so skinny now.

I love the way r101 and r100 write!

The picture is posed in a way that draws my eye directly into Harry's crotch.

Kate (as if I know her) has the clothing hanger shoulders and the physical proportions to complement them, just as runway models do. Anything she hangs off her body will look good.

Her style, as befits a future Queen Consort, is boring, perfect, safe and she never fails to look fantastic.

I'm sorry Della, but the pants and blouse were a miss for me. She get's points in my book for going outside of the normal skirt or dress.

All Harry did was blow dry his hair to get rid of the frizzies. In the pic, his hair is laying softer and fuller because he blow-dried it and made it look more manageable instead of letting it dry itself and go haywire.

R29. You stand corrected. It's the Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall.

Kate is fabulous. MM not so much, with her annoying set of eyes.

The baby is white and Kamala Harris is pissed.

Don’t know if Harry is taking it, but Biotin really strengthened my hair and didn’t cause any breakouts. Recommend!

What the Christ is wrong with Harry wearing those shitty shoes that he wears all the time with jeans? Goddammit, it's bad enough that the suit is so casual, but regardless, he should have on a pair of shined, polished leather shoes, not the suede kicking around pieces of crap with the side soles all scuffed up. There is a time and a place for everything, and today was not the time or place for those crappy shoes. For Christ's sakes, dress appropriately for the occasion and get it together, Dimwit.

R111, And yet, the tie and his hand casually cover the bits that would otherwise make the photo tacky. Open legged as effortless and spontaneous looking, a masculine sensibility of dynamic athleticism. Sitting stiffly would not suit his personality and would effeminise him to a degree. They really know what they’re doing.

I wonder how long these shoots last? The outtakes would be interesting, even if they were just random looking rather than funny. Is it like the infamous Vanity Fair cover shoot of The Desperate Housewives?

Harry colored his hair, so that it was all one color and blow dried it so that it was neat and not all frizzy as usual.

So who are the godparents? I expect more from the British press by now.

Tish is definitely not a woman. Why do gay men choose female names as monikers on DL? They're really OLD is my guess.

And I wonder who’s idea THAT was, r121?

Hint: He’s married to her.

Because it’s FUN, r123!

Jealous?

Doria looks amazing. Love the turban. I think little Archie looks like a ginger Tom Markle.

I agree r125

Harry's shoes SUCK. Did they blow all the taxpayers' money on the stupid copper tub and not save anything for a pair of shined, leather dress shoes? Royalty or not, he does not know how to dress. His shoes are awful and thoroughly inappropriate. DRESS LEATHER SHOES, moron!

No, I like being a dude R125. More importantly - I still am.

And the negative DL crew have found this thread. We were having such a lovely time in here.

Kate looks good. I like her head piece and hair. William managed to offer an ever-so-slight hint of a smile.

Why aren't Archie's Cambridge cousins in the photo? I know zilch about christening photo etiquette.

r132 the other children are typically left at home whenever possible.

Both Buckingham Palace and Clarence House got the sisters' names mixed up in the caption of their photos posted on Twitter, as noted by royal commentator Victoria Arbiter.

In Buckingham Palace's official press release obtained by INSIDER, Lady Jane is noted as standing next to Markle's mother, Doria Ragland, while Lady Sarah is described as standing next to Prince William.

"Seated (left to right): The Duchess of Cornwall, The Duke of Sussex, Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor, The Duchess of Sussex, The Duchess of Cambridge. Standing (left to right): The Prince of Wales, Ms Doria Ragland, Lady Jane Fellowes, Lady Sarah McCorquodale, The Duke of Cambridge," reads the caption.

However, in a tweet published by the royal family's official Twitter account, the order in which the ladies stand is reversed.

Kate is wearing red shoes and Charles is calling out to them with his red Flowers on his lapel. It’s tbeir way of saying Me! is a whore. And look at William’s face! He hates them!

Leave 'Tish' alone. I'm not a frau, but it's not like I can offer any proof to counter that. Instead, why do people object so much to threads that they dislike? I don't read the Soap Opera threads. But I've visited them, and think the posters there are fun and hilarious. Why would I keep them from their fun? I did make the mistake of venturing into a Timotay thread, and had to assume the posters were 9 years old and posting from their Etch-a-Sketches. Yet.....I didn't invoke my FF powers, but just put it on ignore.

Kate is showing more leg then she EVER has. And the pussy bow? She’s saying “I’M ALPHA”

R83, try Neutrogena T-Gel shampoo. I use the generic version. It has made my hair thicker. After using one bottle I can tell the difference

What r130 said.

So anyway, FYI, Meghan’s ring redesign wasn’t just to gain more “friends.”

R140 So he’s going to redesign the engagement ring band every time they have another kid to add a new birthstone? These two aren’t the sharpest knives in the drawer.

r141 it's their money and they may decide to only have 1 or 2 children. If they couldn't afford these rings and were swimming in debt then I'd have to agree. But these are the Sussexes, not the McDermott/Spellings waiting money from momma.

So, Diana's sisters are the godparents?

Maybe they’ll only have children in April from now on.

I don’t think anything more is coming out of her.

[quote] We've read that Charles and Doria have developed a friendship

I doubt he allows her to address him as "Charles". I wonder if she curtsies to Charles and Camilla. As an American, she shouldn't, yet her daughter does.

"Heard from a very inside source that the RF love Doria."

I think that's stretching it. I think they just find her tolerable, unlike the rest of Sparkle's family. This reminds of some article that said the Queen was "thick as thieves" with Sparkle. Yeah, right! The Queen is probably neutral, as best, when it comes to her attitude towards her grandson's older, divorced, bi-racial former actress wife.

R146 Meghan married into the family so it's expected she takes their customs. Doria has not. As an American I would never bow to the Royals and I like them

Her dress is by Dior, his shoes are from the salvation army store.

- Hilarious DM comment

The late Queen Mother's spirit is hovering and thinking, "I remember that time in South Africa when I had to smack a blackamoor on the head with my umbrella because he got too close to the King."

Sorry,I hate to be the one to bring it up,but that baby looks like an albino in that first pic.

R148 I wonder if she feels a little weird on occasions like July 4. I’d have a lot of hesitations about joining any royal family as an Americans. The concept is against a lot of the things I believe in....

Hooray, Prince Andrew's bestie, pedophile Jeff Epstein has been arrested!

Hopefully they will arrest Andrew as well, for raping sex slaves!

And young Prince Archie will never have to worry about having to be around Pedophile Andie.

R153 perhaps why HM has been keeping Prince Andrew even closer than her handbag lately?

I would love it if Andrew i exposed. Serves those hypocritical assholes right.

r152 I believe that I'd want my daughter to be awarded the proper level of respect as a royal duchess, thus I would bow to them while in the UK, and during royal engagements to set an example. Yeah, we fought a war against them, but bowing is such a minor thing and in Japan it's how they greet each other so it really doesn't mean all that much. I DO NOT accept an American President or elected leader to bow to anyone since they represent our country, unless it's a form of greeting under a different meaning like in the east.

R156 I see your points but I still wouldn't do it.

In Japan bowing is something equals do to each other. So that is something I would engage in. In Europe, bowing is strictly something socially inferior people due to their betters. And I don't believe any person on this planet is anything but my equal

I am with you R157. As a black woman I would not bow to anyone especially a white person except in the case where it is reciprocated.

R156 it’s not about fighting the war, but the idea that the guy my husband is marrying is elevated above nearly everyone in his country just because of his bloodline. It’s so wrong. Even as much as I admire HM as a person, she is a human being just like I am. I admire her accomplishments, not her birth status.

*the guy my daughter is marrying

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

r159 but that's the whole point of the marriage and title. Kate and Meghan may love their husbands, but it impossible to separate the men from their station in life. Marrying into the institution is in essence an endorsement of the aristocratic system. But, like you've all said, just because Meghan married into the firm, doesn't mean Doria accepts this. I agree as a black person maybe bowing to a white person isn't the best given history and all.

R162 I think it's normal for someone to adopt their spouses customs. Many spouses even change religions. But there's no reason to adopt your son in law's customs. That's weird

lol r153 this isn't Spain. I'm sure Liz would use her soft powers to avoid any direct action against Andrew. After what happened to the Catholic Church, it's best not to associate another ancient institution to child sex, even if they have to use the same tools to cover up Andrew's dirty deeds. If all else fails, the Queen can pardon the old Prince. She hasn't got long for this world so she can ride out the blow back and bow out in style.

I agree r163

Generally very nice photo.

The 70s outfit with the airplane collar, men’s suit and hat on Diana’s sister? Cracked me UP.

Kate’s red shoes: you know what granny said about red shoes... worn only by small children and whores. I wonder if the clashing was intentional. Her legs are perfection.

Doria must have been caught with her lips pursed or something. Her outfit is a lovely color on her, and perfectly appropriate. Wonder who paid for that.

Despite hiding behind yards of frothy christening gown, we can still see her tummy folds.

Harry seems to have pushed his sleeves up to show off his little bro bracelets. And like everyone else, I wonder how his trouser cuffs managed to get and stay wrinkled. Jesus he’s a mess.

I' wondering if it's still a heat wave in Europe? They took outside photos so he might have been sweating which caused his pants to wrinkle. Happens to me on my commute in the summer.

Never mind, it was only 67 degrees. His staff just sucks.

Harry should have been wearing polished leather shoes. The scuffed suede shoes he's wearing are the sign that he does not know how to dress. Stupid looking.

Har's a bro. Duh.

Camilla let one and Will can smell it.

If you click on R1's photo, and then click the enlargement icon, it blows it way up.  Archie's eyes look very dark navy blue.  Archie looks more like Harry than he does like Meghan, but isn't a replica of either.  Harry's suit appears to be linen, which wrinkles very easily.  I don't think he's is a 'leather dress shoe' kind of guy.  I usually love everything Kate wears, but not feeling her dress or hat, nor the shoes with this particular ensemble.  William must be at least 6'3"+.  There had to be some level of awkwardness between Diana's sisters and Charles and Camilla, but I'm sure everyone behaved graciously.  The sisters were probably just thankful to be included.  I bet Harry adores his baby.

Mark my word, that boy is going to look like Thomas Markle. hahahaaaaa

LMAO r3

Years of adorable mischief ahead !

Harry's shoes suck; the bro bracelets suck. Totally inappropriate. Someone should have dressed him.

[quote] Harry's shoes suck; the bro bracelets suck. Totally inappropriate. Someone should have dressed him.

William and Harry believe the monarchy must be modernised and reflect the current mindset of the people and this means a Kardashian type monarchy.

Camilla wore the same clothes, jewelry and hat to Louis's christening

She's like, "these ain't my kids. They're lucky I wore a bra"

Few ceremonies in life are as dull as a christening. I bet they hate having to do this endless parade of shit.

[quote] I wonder if she feels a little weird on occasions like July 4. I’d have a lot of hesitations about joining any royal family as an Americans. The concept is against a lot of the things I believe in....

I'm sure the entire Royal Family will be devastated when they find out about this

Certainly, they'll make an exception for you

Why does everyone look at me when someone poofs? She who smelt it dealt it Middleton!

I wonder if Diana would have aged as badly as her sisters?

[quote] Few ceremonies in life are as dull as a christening. I bet they hate having to do this endless parade of shit.

I bet so too. I had no idea of how much shit they have to attend/host until the Queen or the Monarchy came out with a Facebook page. I checked it out and there were pages and pages and pages of pictures of the Queen with this group and that group and all kinds of people. She met with a lot of people from the Commonwealth countries. I guess the countries get to reward governmental employees with awards from the Queen or the chance to get to meet the Queen.

If I were William and Harry, I wouldn't want to do any of this shit. I'd want to live as a private citizen

[quote] I wonder if Diana would have aged as badly as her sisters?

Not as badly, but she would have had a rough time of it, had she lived. The sisters always looked terrible. The dowdier one (Jane) let her hair go gray (and it grayed pretty early).

Meghan looked great. She's lost nearly all of her baby weight.

The BRF threads with the Markle haters like Della and Waxwingstain broke the Prancing Pony rule and have been made subscriber only. They have since ground to a halt, so expect all the ugly Meghan detractors to start posting here.

We already have a few.

R184, you're just some deluded Meg stan. Meg hasn't lost her baby weight at all - in the b/w pic there's even something looking like a midriff bulge on her back. It will take quite a while for Meg to get rid of those kilos, plus I think the pregnancy has made her body even more boxier than it used to be before.

And if you had been reading the BRF threads properly you'd know that Della is not a Meg hater, but quite the contrary, often pointing out stuff Meg was doing right. So shut the fuck up, you moron.

R185, you're not welcome here with your juvenile swearing. This is a positive thread. Go back to your racist misogyny on the BRF Part 84.

Meghan is looking slim considering she gave birth two months ago. She's still got some to lose but give her a few more months and she'll be back in her old clothes.

R186 is the RACIST! crying moron, it seems. Nice to see you again, idiot!

I loved those pics out of Vegas that showed Harry’s nice ass. Woof.

Here's a newsflash, r186: r185, or me, or anyone at all in fact, can post on any thread they like on the DL.

You can take it, or you can leave it. Understand?

[Quote]The fact that the comments seem to have come to a grinding stop on this thread - just after Archie's big reveal of all days - seems very strange to me. Only nine comments in the last nine hours? Odd.

To the poster on BRF #84 thread who posted this comment, that's because likely only paid subscribers are being allowed to post.

Aw, the maniac at R189 is all angry bc Muriel made the BRF threads subscription only and stopped her from posting 100 times a day about narcs and weight gain. Now she can't fat shame a post partum woman all day.

R190, that poster is the dumb Welp Troll. He thinks MM's PR, Sara Latham, has made the BRF threads subscription only.

Everything is a conspiracy.

Proof that only subscribers can post on BRF 84.

Naw I'm subscription, r191. I can post all I want about how fucking whale-esque your narc gameshow girl looks.

Oh and r193? I'm also the person you've screenshot. I made no statement but merely reported over on BRF 84 that you made this subscriber claim on here. What you are doing now is making a pathetic attempt to bolster your own possibly made up gossip as true. I have no idea if it's true. You're a Megstan, and Megstans always feel the need to make things up to bolster their claims, so....

Oh and you're the "bye fuglicia" Megstan. You're particularly nasty. I've seen you in operation before.

AND r193

Is our dear Meg stan here also the moron incessantly referring to Eugenie as Fugenie?

If so, now THAT's pretty rich, given how fat Meg looks these days.

Kate looks incredible and she is wearing an actual British brand because she supports British fashion.

She is also wearing the Collingwood Pearl and diamond drop earrings that Diana owned and wore to Harry's christening..the shade is fantastic. Poor old Meg still hasn't got her hands on any decent family jewels.

These earrings were Diana's? Now THAT's interesting!

R194, are you blind? I posted the screenshot of the brf thread at R193 because it states at the bottom of the pic that ONLY SUBSCRIBERS CAN CONTRIBUTE TO THIS THREAD. That's what is stopping me and most of the regulars from posting there.

You guys broke the Prancing Pony rule with all your tinhat talk of conspiracy theories so they made the thread subscribers only to slow things to a crawl. Your toxic presence here will ensure this one goes the same way.

Kate, as wife of the eldest son, gets first dibs on her late mum-in-law's jewels. Megs will receive Kate's cast-offs.

r199, I've never subscribed to the conspiracy theories on either side. Don't need to, there's enough in what is documented fact to make your heroine of the worst people the Royals have had in for a long time. Which makes the whole thing car-crash levels of fascinating.

And no of course I didn't click through on your diseased link. Why would I?

R194 is an acolyte of that demented Tumblr racist Skippy and of crazed Torontopaper1 on Twitter. R191 links to Danja Zone videos, made by a woman who thinks the BRF shape shift into lizards. When she writes 'those curious about the truth', by 'truth' she means the conspiracy theories.

Oh really? Prove it. I've never switched IPs on here. My whole posting history should still be available.

And I've never so much as mentioned this "Skippy" that the Megstans go on about.

Why are all you Meg "supporters" so insane? Why do you always have to invent things to bolster your arguments? Are facts not enough?

No. Of course the facts aren't enough. They all go against you.

R3p, I'm thinking something more like Toppik.

That was to r30.

R201, links come up without clicking and ONLY SUbSCRIbeRS CAN POST is staring out at you from the screenshot I took of BRF 84. You saw it was the Bye Fuglicia IG, so you saw that ONLY SUbSCRIBERS CAN POST too.

You're in denial because you can't face losing all your Markle hating friends.

I think I was right about that very first side view photo of Archie, when I said it looked like his left eye was covered by a bandage and that was why no full view.

That eye is obviously crossed, but probably way more aligned than at birth.

Why would Harry wear a linen suit to his firstborn's christening? He's dressed appropriately at other christenings. His hair is super hilarious, though. It has been thinning and fading for some time. The magic of Photoshop or hair dye?

This is the DL, home of pointless bitchery, not the basic-bitch fan club. Meghan Markle is fair game.

Oh, would you, r182? But with BRF money, right? In BRF residences, right? And no titles, no throne, no BRF jewelry for the wifeys?

Oh honey. No one need come to datalounge to find Meghan haters. They are everywhere.

Everyone hates her, r206, except for the racists, the insane, and the paid.

I couldn't understand why so many threads were degenerating into 3rd grade recess. Then I remembered it's July, and the children have school holidays.

Every fourth thread on the DL is some form of dick pics and your decrying the state of this thread? Oh dear, get the smelling salts.

R213 completely misses the point. No surprise.

About Kate's outfit:

Pink can go with red, but not those two particular shades. And in any event, that red is too dark for July. Now she decides not to wear her trademark nude-color pumps?

Moreover, those bows in all of fashion history have never looked good on anyone. Ever.

As for the Cambridges' expressions and body language, they both look like they are inwardly amused strangers, the Duchess half-smiling, the Prince half-smirking. Disengaged, uninterested.

I don't foresee any Louis/Archie play dates. The Cambridge kids are already the Three Musketeers.

R211, this thread is proof that plenty of people don't hate her. You're talking to yourself because your racist friends don't subscribe, so can't post on the official BRF threads anymore. Not one of your racist co posters is a DL regular, so they won't know to go hunting for threads they can still post on, like this one.

It's entertaining watching you rage and swear. Meghan makes you so angry and emotional.

R210, nobody in that family cares as much as you do about that ugly, heavy jewellery. Kate and Meghan would exchange the right to wear those fusty tiaras for the ability to shop on South Molton Street without security or worrying about paps in an instant.

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

I love Meghan. She's stylish, beautiful even without makeup, obviously a bright and witty woman. Harry is madly in love with her and he, not his brother is most like his mother. He wants to do good in the world in tangible ways, without the royal restraints. Meghan is his partner and champion here. She's a modern woman of experience. Not an anorexic broodmare. Their popularity threatens some, obviously. For they are beloved around the world.

r217, I don't think Meghan will ever have to worry about wearing the RF's "heavy jewelry" or wearing "fusty tiaras". She'll be lucky if she ever again gets to wear that tiny tiara they loaned her for the wedding.

Small thing, but why did the photographer not center Harry and Meghan on the sofa? It throws off the entire composition of the photo to have Harry on the very left of the sofa and Meghan dead center.

Why has Muriel drawn the line at, of all places, the BRF threads? Yes, there is a lot of (sometimes obsessive) hatred aimed at Meghan on those threads, but that's par for the course on DL. Look at the Gio & Tommy threads! The posters on there are absolutely scathing about everything those two do. And Gio & Tommy aren't being bankrolled by any taxpayers - so they should, if anything, be less of a target for criticism than the BRF. They were the first two that came to mind, but there are countless others, like Chrissy Metz and Lindsay Lohan. Why are the BRF threads the only ones that have been closed to everyone but subscribers?

R220 It's not about luck. It's about Megs and her by now well-known character. This time next year, she'll pop out another sprog. Then the marriage will start its slide into dissolution. No point wasting good jewelry on a temp.

There's one particular nutbag who goes around FF'ing the BRF threads and has been doing so for quite some time. They can't seem to handle anyone who expressing anything that differs from their view.

Why not consider curtailing your hate speech against those people R222? It only makes you appear mean spirited and juvenile.

The Meghan stalker won't have to worry about policing threads for too much longer as soon Meghan will fade away. Although she is pretty roundly despised, Meghan still gets clicks. However, this christening marks the end of her "firsts". Anything that proceeds this (other than the divorce) will be ho-hum because it will be ground already trod. The clicks and such will gradually fade away and Harry and Meghan will get the privacy that they keep harping on.

Is Diana's lesbian sister poor? That outfit isn't just ugly, it looks cheap. And under what circumstances would that get up ever be appropriate?

You BRF losers ruin everything. This was an actually interesting thread for a while. But you have to come rehash your same tired, vitriolic arguments here like you do everywhere. You're all garbage people

[quote]Anything that proceeds this

Succeeds, not proceeds.

As an American, I know I wouldn't be expected to bow to any European royals. However, wasn't Meghan baptized into the Church of England, and is in the process of becoming a British citizen/subject (correct me, since I'm not sure)? If I were to become a member of the BRF, I suppose I would also become COE and a subject, and I would certainly respect the customs of my adopted country. It hasn't happened yet (a same-sex Royal marriage) but it will, I'm sure, and all hell will break loose. I hope DL is still here when that happens.

The parents look happy. Harry's tie is too long. Is it so to cover the royal boner he's likely sporting? William is tall.

The British Royal Family Gossip thread is OK now.

What's with that homewrecker Camilla Parker-Bowles and her stupid-ass hats?

Does Camilla wear white to look like a tampon?

William is 1.91 m. Kate at 1.75 m wears 8-10 cm stillettos to be up above the mere mortals with him. Most of the mere mortals are munchkins in comparison.

R225, I don't post hate speech against anyone except Trump and Boris Johnson. I don't have a problem with Meghan, or Gio & Tommy, or Chrissy Metz, or Lindsay Lohan. I just think it's weird that when there's so much bile on DL in general, the BRF threads are the ones that are considered a step too far.

Flashback to Kate & Will's event:

(Not in any particular order)

1 Kate is way thinner

2. Kate's torso not 'hiding' behind baby's christening robe

3. Will is wearing appropriate shoes (leather, clean, matching socks and laces)

4. Will looks properly groomed: Fitted and pressed suit; watch (no "bro" jewelry)

5. Everyone is beaming, showing big, toothy smiles

6. Parents not cozied up to each other on sofa unlike Harkles' signature obsessive clinging

7. Kate's mother looks happy, serene and relaxed as opposed to Doria's hesitant, demure stance

8. Will's feet are placed in a manner befitting the formal occasion. Harry's feet are absent-mindedly and lazily crossed

9. Will has perfect posture. Harry is slouched.

10. Charlie's face looks less red

R222, unlike Gio and Tommy, nobody in the brf is gay. And Tommy and Gio isn't thread after thread of hate posts and anger.

The Sam Heughan thread is also Subscribers only because of the fraus there breaking the Prancing Pony rule.

'I just think it's weird that when there's so much bile on DL in general, the BRF threads are the ones that are considered a step too far.'

And voila, the paranoid Welp Troll is insinuating that Meghan's PR got the brf threads made subscriber only. The 1 direction thread and Sam Heughan thread are both subscribers only.

Wait why did the queen bail on this? That's quite a snub.

R240, The Queen had a prior engagement.

R197 Good call - those do look like the earrings that Diana wore to Harry’s christening. That is quite shady and hilarious on Kate’s part. Didn’t realize she had such a sly sense of humor.

Why didn't Harry go all the way and just wear sandals with bare feet if he wanted casual.

And given how his wife is dressed, she is not casually dressed.

And his front-and-center position makes the shoes highly visible.

His choice of footwear does not speak well of him.

There is a time and a place for everything.

Imagine the outrage if William had done this.

The way Harry is dressed is also odd because he clashes with how his wife is dressed. Meghan so often is a fashion disaster but for this occasion she dressed perfectly appropriately. Would they not have discussed this previously and coordinated their outfits?

Some good points. Harry suede bucks do go nicely with his summer suit though he could have worn caramel coloured leather shoes.

R234 you’ve got it crossed, it’s Chuck who is the tampon

Wow! At Kate and Will's event in R37's photo everyone looks genuinely happy and relaxed. Harry has a huge smile. At Archie's event only the parents seem happy and Wills is downright sour.

The Windsors just can't hide their dispproval.

Thanks to a previous poster all I can see is that chipped sofa ! You'd think the BRF could afford a restorer !

My guess is that if the British monarchy goes down, it won't be because the Queen's grandson's shoes were scuffed in a formal photograph.

Charles's hands look like they are going to burst. Blegh.

You have to wonder if Charles and Camilla don't drink themselves into oblivion every night trying to forget what awful people they've been in their lives and how badly they treated Diana.

Wonder what thoughts went through Harry's head when he pulled those buckskins out of the old closet? Or from under the bed. (Yes, just the thing for the occasion. Like I've never attended any Christenings before so I don't know how to dress.)

How did his micro-managing wife miss those before they left the house, er, cottage? She in her Dior, baby in the family Christening dress, MIL beautifully turned out, and Pa with his scruffy shoes.

Yep, just the thing.

His eye shape and lips have a hint of African American.

Have Meghan's arms got fat? Or is the dress just far too tight around the arms?

God I hate pussy bows. So tacky.

Meghan is quite plump. She probably hates it but I think it makes her look jolly and pretty.

Megan does look better with the extra little bit of weight. Kate should take note, she's looking like a broomstick.

The chipped gold leaf canapé is charming I suppose. The green wallpaper is lovely and the opposite mirrors creating an infinity mirror is hypnotising and diabolical. Perhaps the lizards move between worlds with those?

Camilla has nice legs for a hag.

Quite big tits.

Has nobody noticed the stained toes of Camilla's shoes? Perhaps she waded through a puddle on the way in.

Or she's wearing poo shoes.

No R181. She was too vain. Diana would have had regular botox and plastic surgery to keep herself looking as young as possible.

I just realized Kate's chair is chipped too R258 ! Zoinks !

At Will's child's christening, Her Majesty The Queen is present. Of course that elevates any moment and the participants sense that as well.

R265, the Queen was not at Louis' christening.

She was there for the heir's and the spare's christenings. In dynastical terms, Louis isn't that important.

He's much more important than Archie though.

The furniture is chipped because Diana’s sisters went Stone Cold Steve Austin on Cam.

The Sussexes simply took the advice of Princess Charlotte who said no to outside photographers at Prince Louis's christening.

But R266, QE2 was present at Prince George's Christening in 2013 in R237 pic.

The queen has puffy ankles and always wears that horrid shade of green. They requested she not attend. Phillip was there, in an urn.

At Princess Charlotte's christening in 2015

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

Some videos of Prince Harry’s christening. Diana seems like such a warm person, and William looks like Charlotte!

Prince Harry looks like his Spencer aunts in their youth especially the red headed Lady Sarah on the left. Prince William is starting to resemble his jowly maternal grandfather.

It's the 80s and they are all better dressed!

R274 Also wanted to add, it was nice to see Queen Elizabeth so animated and enamored with her grandchildren :)

I've gotta say, that is a very pretty baby.

I thought Jane Fellowes was married to the evil courtier who didn't want to lower the flag at Buckingham Palace when Diana died.

Sir Robert Fellowes

[QUOTE] wonder if she curtsies to Charles and Camilla. As an American, she shouldn't, yet her daughter does.

Let’s not forget, President Obama prostrated himself before The King of Saudi Arabia.

A day later and my anger has not lessened over Harry and his shitty shoes. Not to mention the highly inappropriate bro bracelets.

I noticed that the comments were rather nice in the late afternoon to early evening, US time. Then, very late in the night it turned ugly. I assume that most of the MM hate is coming from UK posters. There is a real axe to grind against MM, but with the country's support of BREXIT it makes perfect sense for MM to be a focal point of some of the racial tension. Being royal makes it all the better because etiquette, protocol and spending can be used against her at any moment. I am sure many will say, like they did with Obama over here, that it's not about race. They can point to some very glaring issues, some may be true and others blown out of proportion. It doesn't matter if other commoners turned princesses dedicated years to securing a crown, MM's transgressions spark an unprecedented level of outrage, like Obama's tan suit.

Last point, pointing out Harry's dodgy shoes and and MM's questionable taste in fascinators is not really the criticism I'm trying to address. Some of you want what's best for the Firm, and your nation's honor, others just want to take unfair shots at MM. Lol at r282! Even though I detest some of the MM hate, I have learned so much from you all about the Royal Family and their customs, so it's not all bad.

R283 the timing of the nasty posters coming in here corresponds to the time the BRF mega-thread was locked to posts from non-subscribers.

Does anyone know why the BRF #84 original post is crossed out and greyed out?

If Archie ever becomes gansta, his friends will tease him about this photo.

Diana's sister wearing the panama jack hat looks just like their late mother. Both sisters have bad skin though. The one in the pink suit looks like a little old lady. Wealthy women have no excuse for having bad skin!

For those of you saying Kate looks "too thin", she's always been that different. She doesn't look any different from before.

*she's always been that SKINNY

Markle better pull something outrageous, inappropriate and un-royal soon. I imagine she will; otherwise, we will run out of criticism and calls for her to be kicked to the curb. This posed baby photo is going to wane.

R287. Panama Jane Fellowes is a baroness, not just your average 'lady.'

What in the name of fresh boot polished hair photoshop is this????

It is sad for Brits to be accused of being racist over MM, and have Brexit dragged into it , too, when it's s so far from the truth.

R282, if that makes angry for more than 4 seconds, you’ve got a problem.

The vast majority of British people are not racist, we don't even have equivalent terms to the US (Italian-American, African-American) that differentiate races. You are either British or you aren't.

Meghan has pretty much always identified herself as white in any case.

Exactly R294, but a poster upthread doesn't get that.

R287 Don’t assume that because they are aristocrats that Diana’s sisters are wealthy. One is married to a former member of the Queen’s household. The other is married to a Lincolnshire farmer.

As is usually the case with the upper classes, a small provision is made for daughters and younger sons with the bulk of the estate going to the heir.

Just because you don’t have a word for it, doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. Oh, by the way, the word does exist: it’s racism, and it most certainly exists in the UK.

Camilla sspends her nights on R296's website.

[quote] Diana seems like such a warm person,

No longer.

R293. There is a time and a place to dress appropriately. Yesterday was one of those times for Harry. Looking at his outfit and saying he should have worn proper dress leather shoes that were polished and not scruffy suede casual shoes that he normally wears with jeans is justified criticism. It means that Harry should know how to dress and look appropriate for the occasion. He failed along with wearing his stupid bracelets.

R298 - what don't you understand about the term "vast majority"? Of course, racism exists in the UK but it's not as pervasive as the US. Her race isn't a major issue because Meghan gives people enough to talk about regarding her abrasive character and disrespectful behavior.

Please don’t respond to the crazies, just put them on ignore. This has been a really pleasant thread

R298 But for people to presume it exists in all Brits posting on DL about MM, well, that's so very wrong.

Bravo r300.

That was epic shade r300. A DL great!

Yes, and the crazies who claim racism conveniently forget that Doria is mostly well spoken for in these threads. You know, an actual black woman.

R300 R305 R306. You're next. Watch your step.

In the photo Sparkle is leaning against Harry (notice how Kate does NOT do this in the christening photos of her children).. No doubt she'd be clutching him if she wasn't holding the baby. What the hell is up with that? Can she not keep off him in any situation?

[quote]I wonder if Diana would have aged as badly as her sisters?

I imagine Diana would've been a softer, more stylish version of Jane. And she'd never allow herself to look even remotely as old as Camilla.

r309 we can also reverse it ask why Kate and William always seem so distant? Some couples are more intimate in public than others.

Do you not see what you just did, r307? Giving points to Doria because she’s an “actual black woman”?

Is it me, or is Kate getting thinner after each child? I miss the pre-royal, pleasingly-plump Kate, messy hair and all.

No, r313, the point is that you can't go around calling people racist for not liking Meghan when they like Doria. Race isn't the issue, character is the issue.

Meghan is just a pitiful, damaged person. People can't help commenting about her the same as they cannot help but look at a car crash.

Oh joy, the Meghan Forces Me to Comment Troll

Some photogs were suggesting that Markle moved suddenly towards Haz when the christening photo was taken, as evidenced by the placement of their feet.

Haz is looking unkempt again: long tie, scruffed shoes, suit, etc.

For all the money spent, Markle looks (only) okay. It's estimated her entire look was greater than $24,000 with $12,000 for new items (in contrast to Kate's $500).

I'm not a Brit, but find $parkles $pending incomprehensible for how poorly $he looks.

I began by thinking she was (moderately) attractive and could intstill some diversity into the BRF.

Now I feel about her as I do Ivanka: disingenuous and and a grifter extraordinaire.

R314, Do you think "pleasingly plump" means not anorexic? Why does DL admire the scary skinny?

Sparkle's mother looks lovely; that color really suits her

Diana's sisters look like elderly landed genry/country-types (which presumably they are). If Di was alive, she'd be botoxed & tucked within an inch of her life, sort of a "Real Housewives of NYC" kind of look

Harry does look scruffy - but with every kid Wills & Kate have, he's just that much farther from the throne - maybe at this point, he's just like "fuck it" about the whole thing. Next time he'll probably show up in pajama pants & a Manchester United T

I think Kate looks lovely, though as others have noted, she is too thin, but then she's got Rose "No Chin" to contend with, so I guess that keeps the weight off.

" Some couples are more intimate in public than others."

Oh, come on. Sparkle is constantly pawing Harry, That's not normal. And Kate and William have never struck me as being "distant." They're dignified, as fitting their station.

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

Runny Nose.

Runny Nose.

Meghan is too pretty and refined for Harry. He should have married a girl like Chelsea, she's got gross habits too.

Running Nose Troll, Are you implying that Haz has been over partying?

So many disgusting conspiracy theorists on the British Royal Family thread saying Archie is a Downs baby.

Runny Nose.

They said that about Prince Louis as well, R326

[quote] So many disgusting conspiracy theorists on the British Royal Family thread saying Archie is a Downs baby.

This is the point at which it's officially gone too far, in my opinion. It's a fucking baby.

I think that Harry's hair in the christening photo has been photo-shopped to make it look thicker. I also still think it's been dyed red (or reddish) to make it all one deeper color. Harry is more of a ginger with some lighter shades in his natural color. But in yesterday's photo, he is deep red with a full hair in front and top. But in reality, this is not the case. He's getting sparse and is visible I also think he (or Meghan) had him blow dry his hair so that it looked fuller, straighter and not as disheveled and frizzy if it simply dried naturally.

Runny Nose.

If you own England, Scotland and Wales, godammit shave your legs!

This site is great for transgressive humor and biting jokes, but the shit going on in the BRF thread right now is...not that. Some really sick fraus in there.

Runny Nose.

No there isn't R326, stop baiting. Hardly anyone can post on it recently due to either a glitch, or popular threads being subscription only.

You. Are. Baiting.

R333 is R326.

Baiting.

How can there be sick fraus on the BRF thread when no-one can get on it? Duh.

Sparkles "lost" her baby weight because they photoshopped half her face off. Easy.

Have you looked at the thread, r336? It's full of freaks talking about how the baby looks like he has Down Syndrome. Those people are sick and shouldn't be on the internet at all.

R333 is the obnoxious Markle lunatic. Note his clueless usage of the term Frau. To this idiot, everyone who does not admire and adore Markle is a Frau.

If you think Harry's hair isn't photoshopped on that picture, then Meggy's can't be, either?

I’m just hoping the Down syndrome Troll is one user (freak) spamming the thread.

The Down Syndrome comments are overlapping with the Breastfeeding Concern Troll, so maybe all the same frau.

It's the one who brought attention to it here.

R337 Subscribers can get on the BRF thread.

Isn't that Betty White standing next to Bea?

Won't someone think of the children?!?!!!?

The majestic table lamp to our left is Blackamoor adjacent!

Prince William is wearing what appear to be very high heel lift shoes. Have a look!

Oh its a floorlamp with lions, then 3 caucasian maidens in black.

Wills might be wearing platform heels. Harry's shoes are not leather, inappropriate and scuffed. Camilla's shoes are stained.

Shoes make the man. You're not fully dressed unless your shoes look good.

R274, Those clips were wonderful!

It does not matter if Meghan identifies as white, to a racist she is black. Tiger Woods identifes as white too but he still referenced as a black golfer. Doria is liked by some Brits bu that is because she is not married to a member of the BRF and she lives in the US. When there were rumors that she might move to England she was called "Doritos" by the British haters.

Look you BRF people like arguing with each other. I get that. I like arguing about comic books. Why not start another thread and go do that there. I promise none of us will follow you there and complain. And leave us this thread which was enjoyable before you all got yourselves kicked out of your last thread

There's many flaws with this photo. Were all the images in the 2 mirrors photoshopped out of it? Why are Charles & Camilla wearing the same outfits that they did at Louise' Christening? Why does the baby's hands look so disproportionate? The photo doesn't look professionally balanced nor centered.

We saw Katherine arrive in the car with William wearing a blue dress. Why would she change for the photo? Why was Diana's sister wearing such a similar hat to the one MM had on for the Wimbledon tennis match?

Photo experts have listed at least 25 serious errors with this picture online. WTF?

R351, PH can be seen online at a birthday party with a very similar pose and footwear. WTF?

Harry's shoes look nice with that suit. They may be scuffed but if his feet were down it wouldn't be noticeable. They don't have to wear leather shoes for a christening. And it's summer so a more breathable suit is fine. What surprises me is that fact that men and woman can wear suede in the summer, like Harry and Kate in the picture.

Harry's shoes are ridiculous and inappropriate. The scruffiness would have been noticeable even with his feet flat on the floor. It's also the shoes. They're too casual. And there is no comparison between Harry's shitty suede shoes and Kate's high fashion suede high heels that are perfectly matched to her outfit and the occasion. And yes, he needed to wear dress leather shoes.

Most of us would be on our knees for Harry, yes?

Wow, y'all are crazy. It's just a photo. Harry looks great, love the bracelets. I wear mine with a suit everyday. His shoes are familiar - he wears them all the time. I met him in Toronto and he wore those shoes with a striped shirt and blue trousers at the Invictus Games. He no doubt has a few pairs. His hair is quite full and frizzy at the front, but not usually that red. He and Meghan are very obviously in love and very happy when you see them together. They intend to guard that happiness. Who wants to end up like the rest of the people in that photo?

This post should have been titled, "Summary of BRF Threads from People Who (Supposedly) Couldn't Care Less."

Look at William's head in zoom in R1's photo. It looks totally photoshopped in. Kate begins to look photoshopped also.

It's odd that this thread with more reasonable posters who aren't all ranting about Downs babies isn't subscriber only, while the other one, full of crazies, is. DL clearly doesn't approve of all the ugly tinhats.

[quote]Most of us would be on our knees for Harry, yes?

Removing his shoes?

This thread is like the rest of DL. Gossip, witty banter, and occasional real debate. Not crazy and vicious for no reason

R362, Agreed. I keep getting dissed for linking a video series of a certain Southern woman but the comments from photo experts on the one re this Christening photo lead one to really question everything.

There is ONE person who is talking about Archie’s ears and Downs. I haven’t seen anyone jumping on that moronic bandwagon. We should just ignore that person.

Just as maybe there’s one person saying anything racist about Doria.

This is dumb. Charles will be King and Camilla Queen within 5 years. This is the future of the BRF. Charles III will want a slimmed down "Royal Family" This is modern, efficient and totally in line with what's going on in the real world.

Camilla will never be queen

Why is everyone shaming Harry’s shoes but not his even worse socks? Rude

R355 William arrived wearing a dress?

You bore me r371.

Oh good, the people who thought the pregnancy is fake now think the christening photo is fake. Of course, because Danja Zone thinks the BRF is lizard people, it would be a true achievement that they’ve learned how to photoshop. Good for them.

R362 you may be on to something. This would fit in with my observation that "William" is wearing very high elevator shoes. Zoom in.

The Rottweiler will be Princess Consort as they committed in 2005.

Will's shoes look very odd.

And am I am only one who can't find Charles' feet when you zoom in? Are they just in shadow or what?

If they were going to photoshop in William, they could have given him a more pleasant expression, no? Only Kate Middleton has legs like those. It's definitely her, Yowsa.

R374, R362, Do you see anything wrong with the way the heels of Catherine's red shoes appear?

Also if some guests were seen arriving around noon why does the clock show such a similar time frame?

Online experts have noted over 25 questionable points in this photo. I can't believe a pro photographer would have allowed Prince Harry to pose as he did in such a formal portrait.

Charles is there. I can follow his legs all the way to the floor.

Why is there a plate between William's legs?

Also the wall or credenza turns blue in that section.

Why is there a huge bump on Harry's forehead?

So has Doria already hightailed it out of town to get away from her daughter and the rest of the whacko dysfunctionals?

Why are they in Room 237?

In addition to the above comments re photoshopping errors,

LACK OF REFLECTIONS IN THE MIRROR of the guests standing in front of it. Contrast this to H&Ms wedding pic in the SAME ROOM where the reflections clearly show in the mirror.

The left hand of Archie (looks like a cartoon hand.

Camilla and Charles appear to be wearing the same outfits as for Louis' christening.

William and Kate both are wearing different outfits than they arrived in.

Proportions of people are off too.

Comparison purposes, the other gold room.

What is with the rhinocerous skin on Meghan's left foot?

OK, I would nuzzle my head into Harry's crotch, while I also replaced his stockings and shoes. And while I'm gay, I'm not into feets. BTW, that other disastrous thread (re: the Christening) seems to have been cleaned up. I've been staying out of both threads all evening, and trying to occupy my mind elsewhere (which includes filling out tax returns for my stupid city government).

Photography is a strange thing, which can amplify and distort and sometimes, delete. Enjoy it for what it is, but not for what it seems to be.

Well, I'm even more stupid than I thought. I'm R388, and I thought I was posting in the BRF thread. Time to go to bed. Cheers, nice people.

Comparison pictures to Louis' christening. Note what Prince Charles & Camilla are wearing.

There's also a plate to Camilla's right - I guess they like to display fine china at floor level in England.

R382, that bump has been on his forehead for a while. I’ve been wondering what it was. We know he has access to the best doctors in London. Can’t they get rid of that thing?

Camilla and Charles are wearing almost the same things as they did to Louis’s christening. I think Camiller’s earrings and hair are different. And Charles has a different tie and pocket square.

The thing that really makes me LOL is Harry’s hair. That is, he actually has some in the christening photo, and it’s very orange. As opposed to the dwindling apricot frizz he usually sports.

'Online experts have noted over 25 questionable points in this photo. I can't believe a pro photographer would have allowed Prince Harry to pose as he did in such a formal portrait'

What is this shit? Online 'experts' aka tinhatters who always squawk about photoshopping. Danja Zone thinks Harry and William shapeshift into lizards, yet crackpots still quote her here.

Datalounge attracts so many demented CT-ers from Tumblr and Twitter.

What is a CT-er?

conspiracy theorist

Harry in 10 years.

Charles' hand looks like a starfish.

You have to admit, all the secrecy around the birth and christening, plus MM's disappearance since the birth, does lead people to think there is something wrong with the baby.

No, no one “has to admit” that, and no one reasonable thinks that.

Yeah that's definitely fake fuzz, r393. Too bad the same photoshoppers couldn't get rid of that heavy film of sweat on Harry's face.

Did they just take unused photos from Louis's christening and photoshop Charles and Cam in?

R399 reminds me of those revolting Larry Stylinson shippers who used to invade DL, screeching about photoshop and PR. All of these ugly conspiracy trolls break the Prancing Pony rule, which is why their stomping ground has been made subscriber only.

R402, A poster online compared the photo of Archie to one of Prince Harry's Christening. With a slight photoshop of the eyes, the pictures match exactly down to the identical folds of the Christening gown. What exactly is going on here?

Do William & Kate's children's Christening photos "corrected" to this degree?

R404, your paranoid schizophrenia needs treatment. Seroquel will calm your hallucinations. Librium can be prescribed as a last resort.

Here is a better pic of Cam from Louis's christening. In this pic some detail on the dress is visible that's not there in the Archie photo so it's not the same dress. Just the same hat and shoes...make of that what you will.

Really? I'm hardly the only one who thought the secrecy around the birth and christening and godparents of a member of the BRF bizarre.

R406, I stand corrected. Now is Prince Harry's suit, shoes, and socks similar or identical to the linked picture of May 8, 2019?

Here's a pic of Charlotte, who also has the 'Down Syndrome fold'!

Except she doesn't, and neither does Archie. All two month old babies have fat faces. The fat falls off as they get older.

R407, R399, There's so many flaws in their official photo, including the time on the clock which is way too close to the arrival of some of the guests and why Prince William & Catherine completely changed clothes after their arrival, so that it's possible to come to any wild conclusion as to what's exactly going on. Valid reason for QE II to boycott the ceremony completely.

R408. Similar clothes and shoes except Harry's tie is different: darker tie when the kid was born, lighter color for the christening.

Stop feeding this poster’s delusions. They’ll keep moving the goalposts no matter what reasonable answer you try to give.

R404 The following is an official photo of Prince George's christening which looks kind of fake due to the photographer's editing to make everyone look good.

If I were a royal prince, I would only wear my shoes and socks but once. Oh, I love new shoes. Harry loves those old suede shoes. He's adorable.

Why is the line between Prince Harry & MM black and not light grey?

Take a look at Williams suit, how the bottom half is darker than the top, then see the sleeve for bad photoshopping.

So many, many mistakes.

Queen and future kings. Great photo. I love how the queen keeps her bag nearby.

Meg and Harry as babies. Both have deep set eyes and the dreaded fold!

The Photoshop Troll is mentally ill. Don't encourage her.

William was 30 in that picture. He really is the oldest looking 30 yr old around.

And another photo from George's christening where HM's purse made the photo. What does she keep in there that she can't hand it off to someone to get her photo taken?

Charlotte's christening. All of the other ladies found a place to stash their bags. HM keeps hers close. Everyone looks so happy in the Camb kids christening photos.

Kate's pink dress and earring was from 2018 Queen Elizabeth II Christmas Lunch. That was were they got the photo😜. Very obvious proportions of people were off. Notice Kate's bum on the chair - one fourth of it was outside the chair.

Many, many more obvious photoshop errors if you check out the same photo on Instagram. All over the internet countless people are having a laugh fest.

Exactly how is Catherine not falling off her chair? Look at The Sun's official photo, 1/2 the chair appears to be misisng.

The one Godparent who has been revealed (Charlie Van Straubenzee) has a relative who is in Jeffrey Epstein's little black book

Diana was 5'10. Here she is with her sisters. Why is Will towering over them in that pic?

The Photoshop Troll IS Danja Zone and the Down Syndrome Troll is Skippy.

F and F both these racist maniacs.

R413, that is some shitty photoshopping. But of course Kate still has that fake grin on her face that she wore all day

I bet she recently found out William had been cheating on her. Victoria beckham wore that same dumb grin when David got caught fucking the nanny and then again when he got caught fucking the lady that used to give them spray tans

Why would a 6ft 2 man tower over 60 yr old ladies of 5 ft 8? Oh, the mystery!

[quote]“But it’s more than that, I can take the not walking, I can accept that - it’s the fact I can’t even go to the toilet by myself.

Some of you will NEVER walk down the aisle. Too much late night TV!!!

R420. How come Harry didn't attend Charlotte's christening? If sister and brother, Pippa and James, can be there, then Harry can be there.

R422. The legs of the chair that Kate is sitting on needs a paint job. It's chipping, and the bottom of the leg needs repair.

The PS errors are hilarious. Truly ameteur work. It doesn't have to be some grand conspiracy about the event. The only question is, how did these become the official portraits? Meaning, you can view this photographer's other work, including what he did previously for H&M, and it's top notch. Beyond the PS errors, both pictures have lighting and compositional errors, too. What gives?

Sun newspaper photo has a close up of the lady with the hat on, showing an ornament in front of her face, on her left side. MM arms are different colors. Also there are shadows under Catherine's feet as if they aren't on the ground.

Harry and Meghan plan to raise their children as private citizens. They opted for a less composed photo. Harry is not having it with his brother and SIL and his impatience shows a bit in his pose. That part is true. But it's not Meghan's doing. She wanted to sit very close to her husband and Kate wanted to show off her arse. Her Stella McCartney dress is nice and old. That's all that's off in the composition, the space between Kate and the more beautiful mother, Meghan.

[quote] How come Harry didn't attend Charlotte's christening? If sister and brother, Pippa and James, can be there, then Harry can be there.

He was on a 3 month trip to Africa working on conservation projects. He went to the other two christenings. If Kate's loser brother and sister actually did something with their lives, they might not be able to attend all of them either. As it is, they've never done an honest day's work in their lives. So they are always available

It's christening. It's not a wedding. I've missed one of my niece's christenings. I only attended one out of four of their communions too. A christening isn't that big of a deal. My family had me christened at Christmas Eve mass right before the service

R421 That's a recycled dress that Kate wore a few years ago. As you can see, she didn't wear the hat back then.

R432, If as you say PH & MM wanted "a less composed photo" to reflect their desire to raise Archie as a private citizen, why would they then choose as a setting an overly ornate, gold decorated room like Trump's?

I don't talk to the mentally ill on my days off R435. Good luck to you.

Pippa is doing something with her life. Spending her very wealthy husband's money.

OK, I really, really did not want to get into this, but after looking at the heads of each person in that group shot, I have to agree that William's head was Photoshopped on.

Pretty obvious.

The Sussex duo are a laugh a minute. And inept.

Are we playing an ongoing game of "spot the differences"? or "Where's Waldo?".

Now I know why the look on William's face looked so familiar. Pretty sure I've seen that head picture before. But I will leave it to other sleuths to investigate.

Poor Baby Sussex.

Ta.

R438 is mentally ill too. This thread is the cyber equivalent of a psychiatric hospital, with under medicated patients ranting all over the place.

Harry always wears the bracelets, btw. Why should today be different?

I think the bracelets look too casual for a formal occasion. He also wore them to Eugenie's wedding. I don't like them when wearing a suit.

Who gives a fuck what you like R441? The bracelet is to honor his mother. He's worn it for 20 years. His other bracelets have other sentimental meanings. No doubt Harry is less than half your age.

Camilla is wearing hose. I wish Kate were. I like hose on a woman when it's dress-up time. I know, it's old fashioned.

R438, Thank you for your informative post and essentially agreeing with me. Please ignore the super silly troll who calls everyone with whom he disagrees mentally ill. If you persist in writing thoughtful posts he'll then insist you take his recommended psyche meds. Wonder why he knows which meds to proscribe? So what's the name of the serious disorder where you cannot handle anyone who has a different point of view?

R442 wow you really like those bracelets don't you? do you have replicas of Harry's bracelets on your wrist that you can stroke and get aroused by? Very cute!

R442. Calm the fuck down. I loved Diana. I don't like Harry's bracelets with a suit. They're fine for casual wear. I'm allowed to give my opinion as does everyone else on here.

Can anyone venture an opinion as to why so much very obvious photoshopping occurred? Does MM think we're all clueless? Leads one to suspect a cover-up as they've been less than honest.

Of course this picture is photoshopped —nearly all professional photographs Are in Hanst in someway, shape, or form. You’ve heard of airbrushing have you not? But to suggest that William has been completely Photoshop into the photo is ludicrous. If they were going to do something as bold as that, why not go for broke and Photoshop the queen into the photo? Perhaps give a whirl at adding Diana in postmortem?

R447, can we venture an opinion as to why you are such a naive, credulous individual? What loneliness and boredom has driven you into the arms of internet conspiracy theorists?

Nobody else on this thread believes that photo has been edited because we don't believe your demented reasons for thinking it would need to be photoshopped, i.e. the baby was born of a surrogate so William didn't turn up, or the baby is a doll so no Christening happened.

R448, There's a huge difference between minor retouching and the major work done on this particular photo. Look at the many, many very glaring errors. I haven't laughed so hard in quite awhile. Everything MM does is rather entertaining.

R433 You must be special just like Harry because you missed a christening, the thing is for most church going people a baptism is just as important as a wedding.

Also stop pretending to have a clue because if you did you would know that baptisms are never done on Christmas Eve, now run along Miss Megastan back to your coven at CB

The only reason there is photoshopping is because of MM's enormous ego, so she can look the best. Though sadly, yet again, she gets upstaged by her nemesis, the beautiful Kate.

Perhaps due to skillful editing, MM's face does look radiant in that photo. Her skin looks luminous. She looks a lot less bloated than previously. We can't see much of her body, but it looks like she and Camilla have donned identical white dresses, as the DM would say, ha ha.

Meghan is a highly photogenic actress. This is evident in the black and white photo of her, Harry and Archie. She doesn't actually need much airbrushing and anyway, the CT-ers here aren't talking about Meghan, they're claiming that 'William's head was photoshopped on'. The madness runs deep in these credulous fools and they think the photocopying proves that no christening took place.

R425, let's F&F you instead.

R422 Maybe it's time for Harry to deal with his mummy issue....

Will and Harry have a creepy relationship with their dead mother.

‘’You never loved me, you heartless motherfucker! Just look at the shitty shoes you wore to my christening!”

Back to Archie - I think it's pretty unlikely he has DS; they would have discovered and dealt with that early on. He looks like he has African features - nose and lips- and Caucasian colouring, possibly ginger. Obviously there is something up with his left eye.

If I had to caption Will's face in that pic, I would either say 'That kid needs his nappy changed,' or 'This is such a farce.'

If Archie is blessed with "African" features, he will be a very handsome boy.

Used in the majority of royal christenings over the past 150 years, the lavish Lily Font will be making an appearance at Archie's baptism on Saturday.

"The receptacle is said to be worth a staggering £11,000 and experts have estimated that it could even rack up millions if it was ever put up for auction.

Weighing over 21 lbs, the Lily Font is gilded in silver and decorated with lilies, ivy and cherubs.

The spectacular piece was first designed for royal christenings by Queen Victoria's husband Prince Albert and has been in the Royal Family since 1840."

https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/8152233/meghan-markle-archie-christening-lily-font/

A few things:

1) I don't see the silver

2) 11K is "staggering"?

3) one false move by cleric or baby and the royal blue blood will run

If Kate were to stand up, from that photo, we have our very own Royal B-Movie.

Please, Meghan's stans also speculated Louis had down symdrom or other problem.

Assholes are assholes and those babies are fine.

Re r413: I thought that in photos Kate never leaned into William as Meghan does to Harry?

Re r421: I said Kate's outfit seems not to fit a hot summer's day!

I'm fangirling Big Willie Scarf Face so much in that christening photo. Just look at that face!

Archie's top lip is exactly the same shape as Meghan's, with a pronounced Cupid's Bow.

The reason that the photoshop job is so bad is because Meghan ordered a rush job and probably micro-managed the whole editing process.

[quote]Where are Anne and Andrew? Zara and Bea?

Yes, where is this child’s great aunt, great uncle, and 2 random first cousins once-removed??? Is this even a valid baptism??

That's better.

See how easy it is? ^^^

The wild flower meadow outside of Kensington Palace.

Archie's christening makes the cover of Hello mag.

Lady Gabriella Windsor poses with her wedding dress.

Archie is fine and he sends his love.

There he blows!

Archie definitely has the Markle nose.

How many dogs do they want?

Anyway, Archie is so young, I don't really see the interest to give him a dog. Wait until he's 2 or 3 years old.

This would be prudent.

R481 Pure speculation.

Muriel, please open your flaps on the BRF thread.

Pretty please.

It's obviously ridiculous, R481. At this point, does anyone think Meghan would seek advice from Kate?

Has no-one noticed Meghan's ring in the christening shot?

It's not the updated version with the fancy band. I think people were calling it "paved" ?

Something to ponder.

Maybe Harry redesigned it again for her, R485. In honor of the christening.

So redesigned it for the anniversary, then had it turned back to the original one for the christening?

Makes sense ;-)

R486, Sincere thanks for your informative post.

Now lets all send the silly poster accusing me and others of being mentally ill for sensibly posting specific examples of bad photoshopping back to Shill School where hopefully he'll learn some manners.

Is R219 the script treatment for the Lifetime movie?

Twas a joke, R488.

Oh ffs, Williiam's head isn't photoshopped on. Chris Allerton was the official photographer, let him come forward and state that the photograph he took was interfered with; and even more to the point, Charles would know as he was right there, and William would know, and William would have complained vociferously to Papa and Gran, and the Sussexes would be in hot water again.

You tinhatters are the living end, you really are.

William looked sombre and annoyed driving into the Castle, and his expression in the one photograph makes his feelings clear, he's there because he has to be and he doesn't feel that after what Harry and Meghan have put the family through, he needs to bother to look relaxed and ecstatic.

I'm sure Allerton took more than a few photos and I wouldn't put it past Meghan to have picked the one in which William looked the least happy, but that's about it. Photoshopping a false image over the real one is the kind of really stupid thing that would add fuel to the BRF's desire to get rid of her and her "two best guys" as soon as possible.

And her hugely well-paid PR chief, Sara Latham, might have had something to say about it, too.

R153 I doubt if even the Queen could grant a pardon to someone convicted of a crime in another jurisdiction.

R492, If what you say is true then why did both Prince William & Catherine change their clothes from the drive? The latter was clearly wearing a light blue dress in the car.

William looked annoyed and sombre driving in to Windsor castle.....wearing a completely different outfit, as did Kate, than the outfits in the picture.

Then they left, less than an hour afterwards.

Sorry, posted at the same time as you R494

What photoshop?

This is my NATURAL hair.

R135 - Charles wore that same red flower in his lapel at each of the Cambridge kids' christenings, too.'

Keep up, mate.

Zooming in on Kate, her eyes look wonky—almost as if she had an eye infection.

R219 is Meghan writing about herself again in the third person.

Doesn’t matter what Pippa does with her days. The UK taxpayers don’t pay her bills.

I can’t believe I’m typing this—but If that’s Kate in the front seat of Williams’ car as they arrived at Windsor Castle, she’s wearing a low cut blue dress. Why would she change? Maybe a better explanation is that they were indeed Photoshopped in because they left before pictures?

I can’t believe I am even suggesting this. I’m a tin-foil hatter!! I’m a tin-foil hatter!!

R500 - Lol re R219. And, ironically doing so, given how fast Meghan got herself up the duff to make sure she had her insurance policy in the bag, speaking of "brood mare", before her little clock ran down.

R501 - Yes, Pippa married, as Jack Lemmon put it in "Some Like It Hot", "a RICH millionaire".

Megs should have done the same instead of marrying a man only living off the income from his relatively modest trust fund and who has to depend on Papa and Gran for handouts . . .

Great job ladies! You have destroyed yet another thread with your insane and pathetic theorizing.

Why not ignore the posts you don't like, R504?

It's summer, it's only logical Kate changes her dress to look fresh for the pics and the christening.

Okay, but why is there a blue wall and a plate behind William’s legs?

There is a new thread open for those fleeing the attempted extortion of wannabe participants in the BRF Gossip threads: the Sussexes, Cambridges, and Wales's thread, which despite the obvious invitation in its title, doesn't seem to be getting much traction.

Archie's christening photo, let us face it, is too of one particular moment to offer much scope. I believe our next glimpse is if the Sussexes finally make it up to Balmoral to be papped going off to services at Craithie Church with HM. It's going to be slim pickings with July nearly half over and everyone taking summer hols. in August. We might get a few official events by the Cambridges with Meghan still on maternity leave before 1 August. Then it will be really dry until the opening of Parliament, and the Sussexes heading off to the Dark Continent in, what is it, mid-October for a couple of weeks? And then Remembrance Day . . . I wonder if they'll let Meghan stand on the balcony this time with the Three (current and future) Queens?

But I fear we are in for a dry spell till then.

Did the Queen go to all the other christenings? If she did but couldn't make it to this one, that kind of says something.

R507 I don't know, perhaps because it's indeed blue.

R510, it’s the only spot of blue wall in the room. And are plates displayed that low to the ground? Just the one, inches from the floor?

That’s weird.

R506, but every other event that she has been pictured in the car beforehand, she was wearing the same outfit for the pictures.

What a difference some hair makes.

https://www.hellomagazine.com/imagenes/royalty/2019042972401/kate-middleton-prince-william-love-story-photos-then-and-now/0-352-726/kate-middleton-at-university-m.jpg

R512, and it’s not as if she was playing sports and getting sweaty and needed to change. Sitting in a car and then going into a chapel and standing there. Wow, a gal could get really mussed and glowy doing THAT.

Maybe she did change her dress. It’s just another occasion involving the Sussexes where nothing is straightforward and nothing makes sense.

R508, that thread seems to be gone.

I don't get how two such average looking people could make a person as beautiful as Meghan. Her dad looks like a leprechaun and Doria looks better now than she did in her youth.

And obviously Lady Di contributed a lot to her sons looks

Can you link it please R508, thank you in advance.

It's gone, r518. Nice if powers that be would explain what's up.

The Lion King premier is coming up soon, R508.

So how did Prince Harry suddenly grow so much hair compared to when he was last papped? Also how did the color change? Certain posters on this thread need to go back to Shill School.

If you look at the photos of Tiggy Legg Burke in her car the day of the christening you will notice a large garment bag hanging in the rear. It's not usual to change into a different outfit for a formal event, particularly one where photos will be taken.

Here is the arrival pic for your consideration.

Hello? Is that Dior?

Make me THIS by the 14th July.

BYE.

Who wants to bet Meg shows up with her fat face again at the Lion King premier. Too bad she can't control those pics. And too bad she can't carry around a baby with a gigantic gown to cover up her girth for that event. Maybe the fat friend will come along. How does Beyonce look these day? Is she plump enough to make Meg look a little slimmer in comparison?

I am positive that the official photo had some minor retouching: pumping up the saturation of Harry's hair, whitening teeth, a blurring overlay to smooth out minor wrinkles. That's par for the course these days. Even your everyday school photos do it.

Sources say!

TFH people you ever consider that the photographer placed the plate on the floor because he didn't want it in the shot?

Didn't want it in the shot? So put it there? And make it look like William shat it out?

As to the plate between Williams legs: There is also a blue background and plate to Camilla's right, at the far left of R1's photo. Apparently this room has low positioned shelves where plates are displayed against a blue background. It must be a British royal household decorating quirk.

Yes, r529 that's how mistakes are sometimes made.

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

R509. The queen attended the christenings of George and Charlotte but not Louis.

Why didn't Markle invite her father to the christening? It was a low-key, private affair. The media wouldn't have been able to bother him. She could have given him strict orders not to say anything. When is she going to show this kid to her father?

Why does Kate's hat look like a fake hair braid?

Kate looks so old and dehydrated next to the youthful, glowing Meghan. That's why she tried to sit so far back on her chair.

Haha, she's had them cut Camilla, William and Kate out of the front cover of Hello.

Now if that's not one conniving crazy headcase of a woman, I don't know what is.

It looks like Charles's partner is her mother!

And of course, get the Spencer sisters in, because, you know how close Megs is to them.

No wonder the Cambridges weren't standing behind her..... she's chopped them off, Camilla too.

And don't even try and suggest she had no control over the cover....the bitch trademarks her Insta pics, ffs.

She's mental.

I like Kate's outfit. I'm glad she didn't wear the safe off-white color that she's been wearing lately. I like the color of her outfit, the shoes are very nice and her headpiece is beautiful.

R537 I would love a late-in-life Charles/Doria affair. I thought things were about to get spicy with the William/Rose story but nada!

R537. Are you sure Hello Magazine didn't crop the photo on its own? The Harkles released the photo; the public including the media can use the photo as they see fit, cropped or otherwise.

Maybe the Queen was like oh I can't make that date and Meghan was like well, too bad. I'm still doing it on the day I want anyway. And she was like well if we can't have the Queen, I'll show you, I don't need you. I got Diana's sisters. And put Kate in the scratched up chair.

The Queen attended George's and Charlotte's christenings but not Louis's. She also attended Peter Phillips' and earlier in the spring, the christening of the second daughter of Zara and Mike Tindall's. She also attended the christenings of Peter and Autumn Phillip's kids. The public story is that the Queen wanted to attend but the Sussexes could not for the life of them find a summer date that accommodated both the Sovereign, Charles and Camilla, and the godparents. In fact, they knew when Archie was born that the Queen wouldn't be attending, and that was the real reason she gave them that one photo op with them and the baby at Windsor during the "unveiling" photocall two days after his birth.

The Queen's schedule, especially during the summer months, is planned out way in advance and very carefully. I suspect the Sussexes were playing their usual passive-aggressive game with the BRF, and that they know the Queen doesn't like Meghan or how they've handled themselves, and so they made it clear that while they were willing to rearrange the date to get Charles and Camilla there, the Queen just doesn't matter that much to them. What's more, beyond Charles and Camilla (the former, after all, holds the purse-strings right now), and needing the Cambridges there for window-dressing to avoid more fuel for the feud story, they wouldn't care if they never saw the rest of the family again. The Spencer sisters were there for Diana. The godparents were all likely a couple of Harry's aristo pals and the two college friends Meghan dug up.

Third rate all around. I doubt the Sussexes care. They are clearly bent on going their own way - which is fine, as long as they don't do it on the UK taxpayers' backs.

When the Sussexes "win" the IG battle and their supporters are done cheering the victory, then what? Harry will still be 6th in line and sinking. It's all so silly.

I doubt that Hello would have cropped it without MM's consent, she trademarks everything, she controls everything, and is totally image obsessed.

She KNEW where to position the Cambridges and Camilla, at the side. So they could be cropped.

She calls herself insanely smart, but I think she is more like an evil genius.

Although "genius" is giving her far too much credit, as she is totally cocking up this position that she has been handed on a golden plate, and has become a figure of ridicule. And of dislike. ( Where I'm from, anyway).

Why couldn't she have behaved better? She literally could have had it all.

Agree, R538. Kate looked lovely and appropriate.

R542, One of MM's college friends is Jewish so cannot be a godparent. Not being a Christian let alone a member of the Church of England also eliminated the Clooneys and Serena Williams.

The picture of QE II in Archie's photo looks odd in that she's dressed extremely informally, as we've never publicly seen her without her standard matching coat, dress, hat, and pin. Note that Doria beautifully dressed in a similar way for the Christening, super smart & savvy lady. There were other odd photoshop errors to the previous picture as well re the height of the participants.

Jessica Mulroney is commenting on Mindy Kaling's IG, does that mean we can expect Mindy to soon join the ranks of new celebrity close friend of Duchess of FrogCott?

So are the stories that Kate changed her classes to match William's schedule at St. Andrews true? That her mom gave her makeovers and she hunted William down?

R544 "Why couldn't she have behaved better? She literally could have had it all."

Because to Meghan "all" isn't getting a royal title, status, global recognition, and lifetime security complete with clothes and jewels she could only have dreamt about at 16, paid for by someone else and only requiring a modicum of royal "work" that she would have had lots of help with and that aren't too onerous. To Meghan, "all" meant having all that AND getting herself a personal brand so she could obtain evern MORE attention and adulation AND blowing the future Queen Consort of Great Britain and Nothern Ireland out of the water in public adoration, edge, fashion, and glory.

In other words, ALL to Meghan meant using the BRF to work for her instead of the other way around. Her game to me is very obvious: get all the advantage she can from her position in the BRF, isolate Harry from his family, and then drag him out with her, so she can take the advantages and use them to craft a new existence freed from the obligations to the institution that gave her the advantages.

We'll have to wait for the second kid for her exit. Just one isn't enough to leverage Harry and a hefty settlement (she thinks) from the BRF. She has to get the childbearing stuff over before she leaves.

She really thougth she'd be Kate mIddleton's equal if not her superior in public adoration, fashion, and glory. She j

R547 I suspect MM dumped Jessica after too much press about her using Meghan’s position to promote Canadian clothing brands.

R548 Kate changed where she was going to college after it was announced Will was attending St. Andrews.

^*last sentence cut and pasted itself out of order, apologies.

R549

R547 I thought I saw something about Jessica Mulroney being out somewhere else on Saturday so she did not attend the christening. It’s been suspected for a little while now that she’s been Markled with everyone else Meg no longer has use for.

Link to Hello cover please.

I hope there’s a sporty, rich but untitled English Rose waiting in the wings for Harry. Someone who understands the life, the horses, the hunts, the subtle style, the low key fresh scrubbed life. Like Chelsy or Cressida. Let Megs go back to LA and get herself a rapper or baller and the Kardashian lifestyle. The contrast between her and the other girls is so apparent, she sticks out like a sore thumb. She’s been a dark stain on family. Good riddance if they’re really separating.

Hello!

^^^ THAT is fucking appalling.

From what I understand by the time it was announced that Will would be attending St. Andrews that the deadline for admissions had already passed. So Kate would have already been accepted.

As far as her schedule, how do you suppose that worked? Any old social climber could just request to have the same schedule as the future king and it would be arranged?

The BRF usually wears brooches for daywear, but there must be an unwritten exception for certain occasions. Notice now no one is wearing one but Doria? She didn’t get the memo!!!! LOLLLLLLL

Here we go R553.

Some of the comments are good, too.

They should have cropped it down to just Meghan, Harry and Archie.

It does appear that the photo at R555 is the photo they ultimately wanted. It's centered and the lettering covers the parts of Camilla that weren't completely cropped. LOL.

Of course that’s the photo they wanted. Do you think their framed copy of the photo that they will display at Toad Manor has Will and Kate in it?

They should really brush up on their photoshop skills before Will’s coronation if they want the photoshop of Harry in the coronation robes to look believable.

I've taken notice.

The Hello! cover is quite moving - the Sussexes, Little Archie and standing behind them one interracial and one lesbian couple, Very modern.

Do you think the BRF really frets about who got cropped off the cover of Hello! magazine?

Baby Harry vs. Baby Archie.

Archie's nose is more Markle.

I think they're probably laughing about it over drinks, R565. It's just such a petty move.

The mouth and lips are more Markle too.

Meanwhile, KP IG is moving on.

Archie's feet and little legs were so tan in the Mother's Day post.

He is definitely not so tan in the Christening post.

I hope they upgrade Archie to a prince when Charles becomes king, because Archie is such a non-regal name. "His Royal Highness Prince Archie" sounds funny.

ABSOLUTELY CLASSLESS

MEGHAN:

That's the way I should play it, Harry. Not like these tarts of recent times. Kiss and tell, blurt it all out for the promise of a quick buck. Not me, sweetie, my lips are sealed.

HARRY:

You'll do "Hello!" magazine, though.

MEGHAN:

Ooh, yeah! Might as well do it in the comfort of our own Frogmore Cottage.

(doorbell rings)

Harry, Harry! The people from "Hello!" are here.

HELLO!:

- Hello! - That's right. Antonia. So this is the renovation? It's interesting! Rustic, ethnic.

MEGHAN:

Would you like to follow me into my gracious drawing room?

(To Harry) Could you stop that for a minute and help me here? They're all objets from my site, so keep the price tags showing. Hello! Magazine is here and I haven't decorated the room.

HARRY:

Why bother?

MEGHAN:

Because, sweetie, what you can't tell about a person by what they show on their coffee table isn't worth knicker elastic.

Meghan is lovely, modern, sane and lucky. Some people on here are batshit crazy. Harry adores her and she's got a good mother and a lovely baby. Some royals may not be crazy about her personality or style. They despised Harry's mother too. To death. That won't happen again.

Comment on the DM article:

[quote] Does anyone still read Vogue?

No fan of Markle here, but maybe the queen was not available at all throughout the sumer. She goes to Balmoral right about now and stays until October. Maybe the queen just said, it's fine, just go forward with whatever date you want because I am not going to be in town.

I would prefer there were some dishy, gossipy explanation, but maybe all is fine and the queen was simply going to be away every weekend from now through October. And the dimwit and dominatrix of FrogCott got it done now because they're going to Africa in the fall, and Wills and Kate are going to Asia in a couple of months. I'm sure there is enough infighting in the dysfunctional family, but maybe this situation just wasn't one of those battles.

R576 the dish is that HM had to get back to her Royal Stud, who was being chauffeured around town by that HUSSY Penny Mountbatten

ABSOLUTELY CLASSLESS (Cont'd)

HELLO!:

Where am I here?

MEGHAN:

In my gracious drawing room.

No, I mean where is this? Shepherd's Bush?

MEGHAN:

Windsor Park! It's not on the outskirts, either. Not the edge of Windsor Park. This is the rich heartland of Windsor Park. Is the photographer here yet?

HELLO!:

We never do photos on the same day. Next week.

MEGHAN:

70-foot drawing room with west-facing garden. 4.5 million renovation.

HELLO!:

Right. Let's kick off, shall we? Is it important to have lovely things around you?

MEGHAN:

Yes.

HELLO!:

Is it a miracle that you are walking again?

MEGHAN:

It is a miracle that I can walk at all. I bless the wonder of life. And the newness of living.

HELLO!:

And when will thenext baby be born? Do you hope to have a big family? Of course! How stupid of me. Those questions were transparently for a much younger woman! - You're not the Duchess of Cambridge?

MEGHAN:

No, I'm the Duchess of Sussex.

HELLO!:

Meghan? Oh! Did your life change much after "Basic Instinct"?

I’d read r578’s dialogue all day long.

MeMe is the duchess of FrogCott. Her world has narrowed since being banished from London.

MeMe is the cuntess of FrogCott.

I’ll forever love that lesbian in the Panama hat and Saturday Night Fever suit. She’s tremendous.

Does Doria have a nose piercing? Or is it just the light?

I like her turban thingy, and I love that color on her. Mystical Doria. She probably couldn’t WAIT to GTFO and light up a fat doobie in her yoga pants.

R573 - Jesus. They really can't stop her, can they?

I would love to hear Doria’s interior monologue while posing for that photo and otherwise spending time around this insane family.

Speaking of Doria and lesbians...there was speculation that the woman seen out with Doria's dogs while she was in the UK for Archie's birth was not a hired petsitter but rather Doria's partner. What do you think? Does she look like Doria's type?

^ I don't know, but where the hall is her shit bag?!! PICK UP AFTER THE DOGS, LADY!

R583, Doria does have a nose piercing. She wore a stud at Meghan and Harry's wedding. I'm not generally a fan of piercings other than ears, but I do like the fact that she wears one at royal events.

Settle down R587. Clearly there are poop bags ready to go in the red bag. Doria often wears that bag when she's out with the dogs.

Gladly standing corrected, R589!

The dark-haired dog looks vicious.

Doria is a champ for putting up with all that nonsense. She’s the most interesting minor player in this drama. I’d love to know more about her.

Is Doria back in LA yet or spending time at FrogCott? That would be very telling if she high-tailed it out of town already.

I'd have welcomed Babz as a Jewish princess with open arms.

Shalom.

[quote]The dark-haired dog looks vicious.

Wills, your wife has a mean streak, too.

And all THIS bitchiness is always directed at the ladies, huh? Not Harry or William, not even Charles. Just women do wrong - connive and control, are bitchy, neurotic fame whores, shade throwers, greedy connivers or ugly old whores or badly dressed or too flashy, either too chubby or too thin or too private or too much of a spectacle?

What a bunch of old fruits and fraus we have here on the DL. With lovely racist undertones.

Can anyone c&p this please?

Or log in from Facey, access article and copy?

Ta in advance.

The British royal family is famous for being (1) fug and (2) not that bright.

R598 - Well, we can argue about (1) but not (2).

A generation after letting Diana snow them, they let another one cut from the same bolt of cloth in.

They're not only not bright, they're clearly ineducable.

Someone who can is going to have to start a new royal thread and call it by another name so we can continue our discussions.

@R578 Waiting for the play or the movie your script is hilarious!

Listen bitches. As I said on the thread where some lunatics were talking about the baby is disabled. What baby??

None of us have seen videos of a live wriggling baby. They stage managed this entire travesty.

“People who hide something have something to hide.”

I have no idea why the RF allows Magic Marker and Prince Hazard to get away with this bullshit they must be holding something awfully big over their heads.

That christening photo is beyond photo shopped they added people who weren’t in the room there are no reflections in the mirror.

MM is enjoying this down time of binge eating and drinking. Being a sociopathic narcissistic con artist on speed is exhausting. No sleep you know. A biracial bitch needs a break this is the most food that’s stayed in her stomach in about 15 years.

Yeah yeah I know some of you are going to say I’m crazy you can go fuck yourself this is a gossip board and I’m gossiping, bastards.

Seconding R597 - can someone copy and paste the Telegraph article here?
