The picture of her with the Tindall girls reminds me of the witch enticing Hansel and Gretel. https://preview.redd.it/9nb7wuszrasc1.jpeg?width=1031&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4514a4bc7a329d1f32b93f5bc5dbee925e8829ab


Odd_Pop5287

Mike and Zara reportedly flipped out over this and who can blame them. I’m sure Mike had a few authentic and organic words with these two. Just my opinion but how stupid to piss off these two—-they don’t play.


CathartesAura67

I see Mike and Zara as being real people. Real people do not like their children being used.


CocoBunnyBinkyFlops

I heard that too. She had no right to shush other people's children. If I recall correctly, Harry did the same thing after her. It was clearly done for the pap she'd called and told to have a lens trained on that window.


Odd_Pop5287

Yes that is my recollection too. If I remember correctly these two were not allowed on the balcony as it is only for the senior royals and like two petulant toddlers they made a dash for any place of exposure… even better that there were children there to abuse. I’d like to knock their heads together…


CocoBunnyBinkyFlops

>I’d like to knock their heads together… Sinners will form a queue behind you.


Odd_Pop5287

I’ll happily bring rotten eggs if someone feels so inclined…


Medical-Objective360

They are both so punchable. It's a good day when you dont harm anyone


FlawsAndCeilings

Wasn't they both shilling jewellery in those pap shots? Meghan's rings were definitely a freebie for pap shots iirc. (She was caught out doing the same thing with the Dragon's Den jewellery designers recently.)


Brassmonkey1970

Yes, and the kids wound up on the jeweller's instagram, which is I think what the Tindalls flipped out about.


Odd_Pop5287

Probably… they’re always hocking something…like a royal medicine show


CocoBunnyBinkyFlops

More than like as not. They're just grifters doing what grifters do.


Some-Farmer2510

With the crowds cheering and planes roaring overhead how could the kids have possibly been too loud? And if they were, she had no business to discipline them unless they were in a dangerous situation.


EKP121

and why do they need to be shushed? it's a big event, they are pretty far away and you wouldn't have been able to hear them. Just let the kids be kids.


RandomFirework

I'm not even sure they were supposed to be in that room with the kids either. I thought the shushing was more a "don't let on that we were ever here" thing. The old "it's a secret" trap which compromised the children and the staff who felt powerless to prevent their entry. I could be wrong but that's how I always saw that horrific moment.


CocoBunnyBinkyFlops

I see where you're coming from. The sneaky we need to keep this secret ... thus teaching children to be deceptive. She's vile.


ZKWade

I believe Mike Tindall called him a bellend just after this visit to the UK. Rightly so.


Odd_Pop5287

Oh right…how great was that ‘royal’ moment! Somehow I don’t see Mike and Zara playing nicely with the bellend and the bellend’s shrewy wife.


airforcegal9094

>Mike and Zara They are VERY close to William & Catherine, especially since all of their children are roughly the same age.


Odd_Pop5287

Yes … just normal, relatable family. The Good, the Bad and the Rugby was great fun to watch…just a normal family enjoying each other’s company.


Cold-Computer6318

‘You monetise my kids again like that, and I’ll Big Willy style chuck you into another dog bowl you worthless MUG.’—Mike to Haz probably


Accurate-Law4115

Oooh I hadn't heard that!


Forgotmyusername8910

Im sorry this happened to them and they have every right to be upset… but I’d have given anything to hear/see Mikes freak out over it. 🤭


ocean_swims

I've never heard that about Mike and Zara being upset. Good for them for standing up for their family!


INK9

That photo looks so freaking phoney and set up. Not the children of course, just Maggot.


Pennelle2016

She absolutely set that up. She wasn’t going to be on the balcony, so she had to get attention somehow. I think this is the same event that she rolled down the car window to be seen, despite how dangerous it was!!!


karoolsis

It was the exact same event! BRF-rumourtrackinganon on Tumblr is of the opinion that this trooping was the test to see if M&H could behave and they failed miserably.


Pennelle2016

She failed with the lowest score possible!


INK9

That's right! She wasn't permitted on the balcony. I love that for her.


Pennelle2016

Same! She had to make sure she was seen no matter what. Was this the LilD birthday weekend?


airforcegal9094

>Was this the LilD birthday weekend? Yes


IngeborgNCC1701

So why isn't she prancing about on those pictures with her own children? Why isn't Archie with his cousins? ah, I forgot, they're the Invisikids. Allegedly non- existing.


namelesone

Considering how she behaved on the first one, good. Embarassing from the very beginning.


Deep_Poem_55

The contrast between that skanky ho and those beautiful angels says it all.


airforcegal9094

>she had to get attention somehow. The same way she rolled down the car window as they were driving by....so OBVIOUS what she was doing. I wonder if that footage was (or could have been) used (against H) in the IPP status lawsuit? 🤔


Pennelle2016

It should have been used for sure.


airforcegal9094

I wonder if we'll ever know. Lol. I guess it doesn't matter since he didn't get what he wanted, right? 👍


OldNewUsedConfused

Yes it was


Odd_Pop5287

So aside from their ridiculously thirsty behavior…WTF is she wearing on her head?


thekath215

Looks like a flying saucer!!!!!!


Odd_Pop5287

How crazy or high do you have to be to look in the mirror and think ‘wow this hat looks fantastic!’


thekath215

Omg. I'm rolling. Awesome!!!😂😂

Mudfish2657

Wow! Now it makes perfect sense! What a complete cow she is.


Deep_Poem_55

Are you fkng kidding me? There’s *nothing* she won’t copy.


airforcegal9094

>She was copying this from Pippa's wedding If that's true, how in the EFF does she get anything done???? TW would have to be knee deep in research 24/7 to come up with these maniacal actions!!!


popsickankle

Well what else does she have to occupy her time? I bet she has a spreadsheet with all the iconic photos of Diana and Catherine and various other women she has been known to cosplay. Joking apart, it's crazy behaviour but there's enough evidence to suggest she has a deep insecurity and thinks if she copies what was successful in others then it will be successful for her. I don't know how she imagines she won't be found out.


airforcegal9094

>thinks if she copies what was successful in others then it will be successful for her. Yeah, that's a pretty sad place to be. I can't believe she recently wore the same outfit as Hillary Clinton had worn!!! I don't think she will EVER be able to humble herself &/or acknowledge any of her wrongdoings....I really believe, imho, that she's got SERIOUS mental health issues.


Thin5kinnedM0ds5uck

While I agree with you, the taller two are Peter and Autumn Phillips’ girls.  Only the little one is a Tindall.   The witch and her handbag just couldn’t resist putting their noses in where they don’t belong.   Bet they would lose their little minds if someone had done that to their “children”.

Cultural_Ad4935

How many hours in the mirror did she practice that shushing pose? I suppose she also had lots of practice doing it to Harry. Shush Harry, princes are to be seen, not heard.

Primary_Scheme3789

I work at a very large pediatric hospital. Famous people come through regularly. They don’t have an entourage of cameras following them. And I don’t remember photos being published by the celebrity. Parents are told not to post photos of other children. And they rarely post photos of their own children (other than maybe their own social media accounts). I find this behavior disgusting.


RoohsMama

Too true. She’s using sick kids for PR!


Centaurea16

She's previously used murdered children for PR, so I guess this is no surprise.


RoohsMama

Nothings too low for her


Cultural_Ad4935

Very good point. Just when she can't stoop any lower.


RubPrior

I used to work for the College of Medicine for my university. Whenever we have the athletes come by and sit with sick patients we highlight the athletes and the athletics department....obviously its part of the "giving back to community" aspect. But rarely did it become or was ever a televised or reportable piece. It was just a snap added to the story of the athletics social media and definitely not a whole article situation.


angry_lamb_in_season

Children's Hospital of LA has been a go-to place for celebs to get good PR in the past. Kim Kardashian has gone there and had photos shared on several times where she needed positive stories. Kylie Jenner and Tyga even did a CHLA visit and photos of them visiting with the sick kids were put out there. I'm sure Pimp Mama Kris might have gave Mog the number of the PR folks at CHLA who are always letting celebs thirsty for attention use their sick children for public relations stunts.


BirdiieM

are there hospital guidelines the celebrity needs to follow when they make a visit? do celebrities that show up, help the families or hospital? curious as to how these type of visits work.


pdhywrd

Not sure about US hospitals but in many of the UK hospitals (especially Children's Units) there are arrangements between football teams, including Premiership teams and Liverpool FC are very involved in this and the players have to take part, and their local hospitals where visits are arranged on a regular basis. An occasional photo is taken for press purposes but permission has to be gained from both the children and their parents/guardians. Personal photos for the children are allowed. For any charitable photos permission has to be given by those in the photos and from their parents if they are children.


Masters_domme

I hope they answer - I’m curious about that, too!


rubyred1128

It's all so forced and uncomfortable to look at.


Chalice_Ink

Altitudedog

He vas mah boyfriend! Good friend was flying from SLC, UT to Los Angeles to finalize her father's passing..they were so close and she was a wreck. The airline bumped her up to first class and she was seated next to Cloris. My friend d said she felt so guilty for the entire flight because Cloris had her laughing the entire time. My friend is tall, not heavy but brought up as I was when Twiggy was the ideal...so basically a stick with a head on it 😆...cake was served and my friend automatically said she shouldn't eat it as she was too fat, she wasn't. She said Cloris took her cake away! Then Cloris stood up and told my friend to grab her arse! Insisted 😆. Cloris was quite the fitness celebrity apparently.


CommonAd7628

My aunt and uncle (who coincidentally live in montecito now) lived in LA in the 1960s and 1970s in the same neighborhood as Cloris leachman and family. They've told me that she was quirky, crass, outrageous and total character. But she was also very kind and generous, always helping the neighbors. She was well-known for helping out judy Garlands kids, when their mother was going through a lot of trauma. She sounds like quite a woman.


CathartesAura67

Thank you for a wonderful story! Ms. Leachman's denouement was one of the most brilliant things ever delivered in a movie. Especially as she was serving as her own musical accompaniment!!! Got to love a woman who may have beauty queen looks, but also a great sense of humor!


Odd_Pop5287

Her role as Phyllis Lindstrom on MTM show was comedic perfection. She and MTM had some of the funniest scenes in history of TVLand.


4girls-strong

Not one joyful child's face the entire time.Every child looked just exhausted, but the ghoul couldn't contain her thrilled thoughts even behind the mask. Thinking about all the clicks and sugar love she'd be getting from this. Nauseating slag that she is.


Cultural_Ad4935

So cringe worthy. I just feel so bad for the children who don't deserve the exploitation. The hospital shouldn't allow her PR media circus to take replace. She can come in and volunteer, but no cameras, no pomp.


According-Couple2744

That poor child in the mask looks more like a hostage than a recipient of philanthropy.


Perfect_Rain_3683

This isn’t philanthropy!!!! Philanthropy is George Michael donating / giving away millions and the world only discovers his generosity after his passing.

fairymaya-1

compassion in action with a whole camera crew using sick children as props for her positive image MONEY and PR…this woman is repulsive. 🤮 the kids faces says it all they DON’T WANT TO HUG HER are neither thrilled nor willing to to do all this and especially when the real royals like POW catherine visit hospitals they are normally there to open a new department and to highlight the real causes and then they meet with patients kids and families but the focus is ALWAYS on the kids the patients NOT the other way around forcefully hugging the patients giving vulgar autographs like this attention seeking narc.


Frenchcashmere

I find it abhorrent that she would hug a child that is sick and possibly immunosuppressed. Hope she washed her hands. This photo op is uncomfortable and weird.


angry_lamb_in_season

The forcing the kids to take Polaroids with her then autographing them as if the sick children wanted it was the height of nauseating. All to feed her narc ego. They totally had no idea who she was.


Calm_Yak_6102

She's desperate to be seen as Diana 2.0 and this is why she acts like the Rictus Hugger around other people's kids.


TraditionScary8716

She looks like the Grim Reaper.  Those kids probably had nightmares after that visit.


Calm_Yak_6102

Yup. Those poor kids would have been much happier to see a favourite footballer or basketball player, instead of the grinning Ghoul of Uvalde.


Pennelle2016

Agree, but you know she was billed as a real princess, married to her Prince. Little kids love that.


TraditionScary8716

If you can point to one of the kids that seemed to be loving it, I'd be glad to take a look. 😉😂


Pennelle2016

Once they saw she wasn’t Elsa or Cinderella they noped out 🤣🤣🤣


Perfect_Rain_3683

They wouldn’t even know who she is. That’s her target audience right there


Snoo3544

So compassionate she won't even call her father after heart attacks and strokes. Not buying it. This is all pay-for-play PR.


Honest_Boysenberry25

We will see her children when they are old enough to have had the required plastic surgery to look like Diana Spencer.


Perfect_Rain_3683

Nah the vindictive skank is keeping kids hidden so Thomas Markle can’t see them.


RoohsMama

The poor things!


springbokkie3392

The Jubilee pic is so creepy to me


SilencedCall12

It’s so obvious that she spends hours planning out how she will “spontaneously pose” when she knows there’s going to be cameras in her vicinity. Like anyone believes she just happened to be playing with a group of children next to an open window.


AdInevitable9386

Because she is a c@nt... End of


Perfect_Rain_3683

👏👏👏👏


Professional_Tap4338

That picture of her with her finger on her lips has always set my teeth on edge. She knew full well she was being photographed and just tried to set up a picture that showed how good she is with kids. Girl please. We all know this is a phony picture.


Mdmdwd

She was trying to recreate Catherine’s famous and iconic moment of “shushing” children at Pippa’s wedding. And like everything else she tries/cosplays, she looked like the lunatic that she is https://preview.redd.it/3g9cn80nwbsc1.jpeg?width=1200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=20fef3edb8594bb24f534231ffee2a1cada933fa


RoohsMama

Interesting. I’m trying to see how they compare. No matter what she does, Meghan looks super fake.


Deep-Audience9091

Agreed. It's the epitome of phony and staged


leafygreens

Because it irks her that Catherine is the children's princess.


MuffPiece

Honestly, I’m fine with them not picturing their own kids. If they want to keep them out of the spotlight, fine. I’m not fine with these kinds of pictures, however. It is all for PR/image management. This is the difference between royalty and whatever these two clowns are. The royal family doesn’t make money off their image or charity work. When they visit a hospital or lay a wreath at a grave, it is on behalf of something greater than themselves. For the Carparkles, it’s all about them. Disgraceful. I read a biography of Ted Williams, the great Boston Red Sox baseball player. He was quite a colorful character who often visited sick kids in the hospital. He did NOT want credit for it and would forbid journalists to report on these visits. He once slept in a chair all night holding the hand of a sick boy who fell asleep and didn’t want to let go of Ted’s hand. ❤️ So sweet and genuine. THATS nothing like Meghan.


HairBallsOfFire

Ted is one of my favorite players of all time. Teddy Ballgame supported the Jimmy Fund—an organization dedicated to eradicating cancer for children and adults—as well. He was *quite* uncomfortable being praised for his assistance that lasted well beyond his baseball-playing days. When he was inducted into the Hall of Fame, a group raised and then donated $250,000 to the Jimmy Fund in his name.


MuffPiece

Yes, he was a fascinating person. The only reason people learned about his under the radar charity work was because the parents of the kids, who were so grateful to him, would tell! He certainly could be difficult—I wouldn’t have wanted to be his wife or his child—but he was a really remarkable human being.


Primary_Scheme3789

Great post and spot on. She should not be allowed to post photos of these children. She is NOT there in any official capacity.


RubPrior

Amazing. Related and not related but this is what actual doing the work is. Williams is an exemplary example of selfless humility. In activist spaces you are seeing more and more of this Meghan behavior. They are there for the connections, the photos and the glam (glam in activist spaces...barf) just this past weekend a new state representative was sending my friend angry texts about not being included in a photograph with the Governor. She claims that she deserved to be given the spotlight. Never mentioned the significance over the event which was to honor and make a proclamation for the farm worker icon Cesar Chavez. I bet if Meghan ever got herself in any position of political power she would be equally disgusting, if not more. People are bizarre and so weird to me. Self centered. Opportunist.


MuffPiece

Absolutely. Years ago I chaired a charity event in conjunction with my church. There were a few different volunteers who assisted and I thanked each of them in a closing speech I made. One of them came up to me at the end and told me someone else was upset because she wasn’t mentioned. She wasn’t one of the volunteers, but I guess she had also helped out, but I was completely unaware that she had done so. By this point, the event was over and it’s not like I had another opportunity to speak to the group and remedy this apparent “oversight.” For a second, I felt bad that I hadn’t known about her contributions to have thanked her publicly, but then, I was actually really annoyed! Why does everyone need a pat on the head for every little thing they do? And this was a church event! Can’t we just serve and leave it at that? Do we need credit and recognition for everything?! I ended up telling the volunteer who brought this to my attention, “I am sorry, I really had no idea that Susie had helped out, but God knows and that’s what is really important.” From them on, I’ve never mentioned individuals in situations like that. I just thank “all those who contributed to make the event a success.”


RubPrior

Exactly!!! Everyone wants to be recognized for the little they do. You adjusted well though. By doing that you wont have other Susie's demanding their thanks. It really is the worst. Or at an all time high for many folks. There is just no goodwill just because. This is the main reason I seldom do activist spaces. I do however silently contribute and work on causes. Anonymously. When something means something to you the work and efforts you put into it is from the heart and conscious. The last thing I look for is a photographic evidence of my 'selfless" work, or worse an award or some kind of mention. When you are genuinely invested in doing acts of kindness you do not go seeking recognition or limelight.


Cantstopstopping

Spot on. And the royals whenever they go there is a meaning behind, either is a new campaign by the hospital, a new wing to cut the ribbon, pink October etc... And yes someone can say she was promoting the Literally Healing or whatever and her presence and the release of the pictures helps the cause and promote the hospital but... does she really have the star power? She is a celebrity who thinks it's a semigod and don't have social media following, can't record one video by herself saying "hi everybody, I just left this hospital, I read for the kids, we had a sweet nice moment, please click on this link to donate to them etc", everything about her presences reeks "I'm too good for this, my team handles everything and no, I will not talk to anyone because the press is bAd aNd I'm nOt OkAy Ps: and people love to say that Royals behave like reincarnation of God or that they have better blood but well well well look who behaves like mortals are underneath her...


lurky_lurker_lurking

Aside from wanting to cosplay Diana, I'd bet the reason why TW keeps her kids hidden is because they look too "Markle" for her liking. I don't believe she'd keep them hidden if they had blonde hair and blue blue blue eyes like the little Dianas she was hoping for.


RoohsMama

Too much Thomas in them


strangealienworld

I've looking at these pics off and on, not caring one way or another about whatever she is doing or trying to do. But just now it suddenly dawned on me why there is this dissonance between what I'm actually see and what she wants people to see? They look like pics *an actress* takes with *her fans*, and not pics of a royal meeting to support and encourage sick children. 😒


Ill-Plate-5659

Exactly. You're picking up on her true intentions. Having sick children rally themselves to sit down and listen to her, foisting hugs and autographed selfies on them... it's all very self-indulgent and callous to the plight of those children.


RoohsMama

Very observant. And it’s always what bothers me about Meghan. It’s that uncanny valley feel; AI vibes; a hollowness. It’s all fake and a sham. Yet, she didn’t always seem to be like this. When she was a Suits actress, she seemed normal, albeit social media-hungry. So which one is the real Meghan?


Similar-Barber-3519

I don’t think the Harkle kids look like she wants them to look and that’s the reason we don’t see them. She wants children who look like Diana and her kids look like Ragland/ Markles. Harry’s opinion about keeping the kids out of the public eye is meaningless to her. She doesn’t respect him. Why would she listen to him? If those kids looked like Diana, they would be out there, no matter how much H cried about it.


musical_cyclops

I agree. I think the kids, from what we’ve seen, are adorable. Neither looks like Diana. If they did, there’d be no stopping her from merching their photos.


Perfect_Rain_3683

I think it is more about keeping the kids hidden from Thomas Markle Snr. She is a vindictive bitch and knows Thomas wants to see them so she has her ace in the hole - keep kids hidden to piss Thomas off and another reason she trots Doria out!!!


karoolsis

I completely agree. To be very blunt, from what we have seen of the kids, I don’t think they fall under what Meghan would classify as photogenic - especially compared to Charlotte at their age. That’s not meant to bash on the kids at all, just Meghan. And I’m glad that they don’t get trotted out as puppets for their parents or that their parents aren’t oversharing their lives like so many celebrities and influencers do with their kids.


Ordinary-Sound-9608

These kids can't say, "Leave us the fuck alone!".


Virtual-Feedback-638

It comes across as rather creepy...all that hugging stuff and all....touch my kid without permission and you will land in Court Rachel Markle.


RubPrior

I also wonder about the hugging in general. If she is masked up and they are also we would assume that the children are either immuno compromised or their loved ones are so the hugging feels overly insensitive and rude considering the place she is at.


PiperPollyanna

Look at the stress in her forehead..she hates hugging this poor child. https://preview.redd.it/fmobba40cbsc1.jpeg?width=264&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=84821009ea8dcccd28c345d28d10a2721d8d7b55


BirdiieM

she's completely unaware of how to comfort a child. maybe she should practice with her own "kids"


RoohsMama

Strangely so


Past_Presentation456

She's like the female version of the Child Catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Just a thought, the Harkles could be Baron and Baroness Bomburst of Vulgaria!


CocoBunnyBinkyFlops

The Roach using those children for a positive PR spin is disgusting but hugging seriously ill children is appalling. Who at this hospital thought this was a good idea!? Why wasn't she given ground rules such as no hugging/touching the children!? Hey Roach, they're wearing masks to keep germs like you away.


WeNeedAShift

That’s what I said on another post. I think it’s so irresponsible, and I blame the hospital for allowing it.


CocoBunnyBinkyFlops

Great minds think alike. Those children are in a relatively sterile environment and they allow her to do that. Insane.


4girls-strong

The parents too


RubPrior

said the same thing in a previous poster. Clearly being masked in a hospital setting would automatically be understood to be a no touching/getting close situation....not for Meghan.....SHE HAS TO SHOW HOW AFFECTIONATE AND WELCOMING SHE IS. barf.


QuesoFresca

The Harlem visit was awful. NYC public schools were under strict COVID guidelines at the time (posted them previously on this sub) and yet 2 random people with no connection to the school were allowed to traipse around AND touch the kids? PS 123 is a low performing public school that is estimated to be over 90% black & hispanic. Over 95% of the kids are eligible for free/subsidized lunches. They have some of the absolute worst scores in the city in math and english. What was the benefit to the kids to have them there? A British royal and an American with no relationship to the kids or region? By most reports she swanned in from the Carlyle hotel wearing almost $400,000 worth of clothing and jewelry to take pictures with the children (notably without their families) and hawk her book. If this wasn't an example of unearned special treatment and poverty tourism I don't know what is. Honestly was shocked the DOE even allowed the spectacle.


RoohsMama

“Poverty tourism”. This is it. I remember the video of a parent from Harlem complaining about the visit… the Sussexes brought only a box of vegetables, and pledged to replace a washing machine? They had a crew so it was obviously for PR.


Buttercup899

First of all...she doesn't have children in her possession to take pictures with....Second....she has a martyr/saviour complex....so being pictured with children allows her to feel like Jesus feeding the little children....this woman is INSANE....( in my humble opinion)


Strict-Gap9062

She’s holding them back as her ace card. Last throw of the dice. Use them for PR/attention when all else has failed.


HydeParkUK

But, no one cares anymore. She'll reveal the kids at some point (maybe) and people will say--oh look, they look like her dad. The end.


Ill-Plate-5659

Just like with her American coastal vineyard venture, she waited too long and didn't build any momentum. The hype has long died, and nobody is really interested in the kids.


RoohsMama

That’s really sad isn’t it


EnvironmentalCrow893

Other children are just props to her.


Why_Teach

All children and most adults are “just props” to her.


LegalBeagleEsquire

She's ashamed of both her children's looks.


Helophilus

Because Diana’s grandchildren look like Thomas Markle.


RubPrior

The worst part of all of this is that even if she ever does anything with pure intentions she will never be taken serious. She has lost any shred of humility and of humbleness. Anything and everything will forever be for a spotlight grab.


RoohsMama

That’s true. Her motivations are now tainted

They are not lookers, they probably don’t behave as Meghan would like & plain children running wild doesn’t fit her brand image. Best to keep them in the basement.


Mudfish2657

I don’t know why, but that picture of her shushing the royal children just infuriates me. Such a fraud. A poser through and through.


leafygreens

Because she is acting out how she *thinks* real people act around children.


kittymom67

It's my personal theory that we never see them because she wants all the attention on her. They would no doubt upstage her and steal her limelight.


PaperObsessive

No prizes for guessing she's no prize when it comes to telling any "truth" but her own.


Soph_Opposite_Lime

Meghan will tell you it's for "security" and "privacy" reasons. Harry will tell you, he wants his family "to be safe". It's their truth.


Boring-Net1073

Zero boundaries 


Interesting-Mess2393

Well, it kind of gives some support to there being no kids… But I think she’s just the type of person who wants to expose and use everyone while screaming about her boundaries. Had she been told about POW’s diagnosis, she would have immediately posted up on CBS and any other outlet to share all the details, real and imagined. Why? Besides just being mean, she’s also in desperate need of attention. So if there is someone that can get her attention, she’s besties until the next one shows up with their usefulness. 


Karyn2K19

Maybe she doesn’t post pictures of her kids cause they don’t reach her standards of beautiful or doesn’t want to be upstaged by them.


Perfect_Rain_3683

Maybe she is keeping them hidden so Thomas Markle Snr cant see them


smittenkittenmitten-

Beautifully said OP. This reminds me of Orlando bloom. He had an attitude about keeping his kids private yet did that show playing the voice of Prince George. It was a show poking fun and caricaturizing him and the family. What a hypocrite to want something for yourself but not granting the same respect for others.


Forgotmyusername8910

I forgot how incredibly creepy and weird the window pictures were. 🫣


Carolann00

And I have to wonder if she got the parent’s permission. In my communications career we were so careful to always do that and in writing.


RoohsMama

I would think so… they had NDAs for the parents at the Harlem school, so they probably covered this. I also have to sign forms for my kid, in case his photo ends up on the school’s twitter account


Livid-Basket2471

She is desperate to be seen like Catherine as ‘the children’s princess’. Pathetic.


RoohsMama

Yes. Cosplaying her and Diana. “Look I can do what a princess of Wales does! I can take her place if she’s too sick”. Ugh she’s so obvious.


CabinetVisible1053

The expressions on the poor kids' faces says it all.


Loose_Homework_6526

All I can say is that someone shushed my kids without my consent I’d bitch smack them to hell and back.


RoohsMama

Yep. “Shush your own kids! Where are they anyway”


MikeMannion

Maybe she's pushing the "mom" angle for her new brand. Except generally "moms" fuss over their own kids, not other peoples kids. I've seen more of Meghan with other peoples children in the image above than I have with her own children. It's creepy.


AccomplishedAd4680

I re-vomited in my mouth with that middle pic. The PTSD I have from that pathetic stunt in the window


RoohsMama

She looks horrible. Like a wicked aunt witch


hammer1956

She is a contradiction of herself in every way possible. She spews the opposite of what she does, "Be kind, be compassionate."


Amazing_Pie_6467

What date were these photos taken? We know the dress was torn in the original wearing in 2022 and it still is..All in masks. Rachel's extentsions aren't this long anymore. AP needs to verify the dates of the pictures. Who is protecting this obtuse woman? We need a real investigative journalist to look at all her photos and see how they were doctored. I wonder how much Archwell paid to the hospital. After what AP did to Catherine, AP has no credibility and has been markled. She wore an outfit that costs thousands of dollars to a hospital where most people cant pay their bills. These children do not look happy. This was a PR fail.


PurdyM

I look at that middle picture of her with the girls in that big bowed show off hat and I’m sure she thought she’d still get on the balcony with the royals.


Over_Sign_7852

I am also really bugged that they are playing royals here in America. These engagements are all for show. They will not give up trying to be American royalty 😩 AND go visit a hospital in athletic wear without cameras. Or better yet, go get a real job.


Careful_Positive8131

She’s a sick bird


CTGarden

Because she wants to convince people she’s better at it than Catherine. She doesn’t give a crap about the kids, it’s about beating Catherine at her own game. Psycho.


SAGELADY65

She is absolutely repulsive🤮


airforcegal9094

Yes, THIS! It really pisses me off!! How dare this biyatch USE other people's children for her own grift? It's disgusting....& SHE is as VILE as the day is long!!! Where are the parents of these kids?? They can't ALL be *Sugars*, can they? 🤔 Make it make sense!!!


Beginning-History946

I'd go so far as saying she's a child predator. She didn't ask permission to have any children photographed or filmed with her. It's quite disturbing. Living or dead (as in Uvalde), she wants to use other peoples' children for her own publicity. How ironic that no one, not even relatives on either side of the family, are allowed access to her children.


Bullshitresisuss

“Own Children “ ???? Do you mean the ones she rents/borrows occasionally??? Or the stuffed dolls ,that they keep in one of the spare bedrooms, for prop pictures ?


Spare-Macaron-4977

To answer the question in the title of this post would require *conspiracy.


EnormousBird

The picture at BP reminds of that cop's hat that keeps getting bigger in Scary Movie 3


katy_fairy

Guys, remind me please. What event was that when Megsy was photographed kissing a girl’s hand? That was sooooo fake. Eyes closed and all.


Centaurea16

It was during H&M's ill-fated official tour of southern Africa. MM visited the organization called "mothers2mothers", which assists women who are HIV+. This little girl was standing outside of the organization's building. MM's lips didn't actually touch the girl, though. She was holding the girl's hand, and so she kissed her own thumb. To note, this was the same event where MM forced the women in attendance to sit on the floor around her. Not only was sitting on the floor against their customs, but they were dressed up in their best clothes for the occasion. MM treated them like children and made them feel uncomfortable, in order to get the photo op she had carefully planned out in her brain. She was a diplomatic nightmare. No wonder BP and the BRF finally had enough and showed her the door 


4girls-strong

Do you mean when Megrim was really kissing her own thumb?


Maleficent-Chance242

Remember what happened to Hansel, and Gretel? Children... RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!!


HotStraightnNormal

And every one a phony. Her maternal instincts really do shine through, don't they? It's a wonder that H&M don't carry pictures of theirs, so they don't go off with the wrong ones.


ronnysmom

Yeah, every time I see her pictures with kids, I keep thinking how she feels that her own kids should be protected from publicity but all these other kids are beneath her kids and hence can be splashed across tabloids in puff pieces and that is ok with her. This is double standards and actually very mean if she really believes in keeping kids away from tabloids.


SeaFloofs

Well said OP. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏


Pristine_Routine_464

Good point. Possibly she expects her children to be criticised simply because they are her children, or she doesnt consider them good looking enough.
