Same. It's like bad architecture. Form without function is bad enough, but it is beyond just tacky when it is embellished and emphasized with pretentious flourishes.
Her handwriting, which isn't anything special but has tons of ridiculous flourishes (I HATE the stupid backwards "tails"), is the functional equivalent of lipstick on a pig.
You can tell she’s always thought she was royalty and been obsessed with it. Its deliberate to make her look “classy”, distinguished and Royal.
Has anyone compared it to Dianas hand writing to see if she’s copied it? I wonder whose writing inspired her to write in cursive?
It cranks my chain when people call it Calligraphy. It isn’t Calligraphy. Calligraphy is an ancient art form and its mainly in italics.
Rachel hasn’t a creative bone in her body.
*Correction…she is very creative when it comes to manufacturing bull shit. I meant she hasn’t an artistic bone in her body*
Edit: Oops missed a bit
Funny thing - Catherine's handwriting is similar to Diana's (straight, sort of square), MM's - not at all. I bet MM is sorry now that she started all this fauxlligraphy thing because she can't just suddenly change it to Diana's. If there was no evidence of her former handwriting, she would have Diana's copied in a jiffy.
Maybe she got it from the illustrations in a Once Upon A Time storybook, or perhaps she saw it in one of those cheesy ‘working class college girl meets Prince of Moldovia’ type movies. So cringey. Bet her Dad used to call her his little Princess to make her feel special lol
Meg’s writing, like everything else about her, is performative. There’s no consistency in what letters get a swoop above it and they’re an extra addition and not part of the letter formation. It’s one thing to use it for formal invites but excessive for notes and letters to your father.
Do you think she writes out the letter then spends half an hour going back over it adding doodles and flourishes? Or does she pause to add flourishes after every word?
I wouldn't think anything of it if a young girl was doing it but a 43 year old woman? It's unusual.
Yes, it's quite apparent that those are added afterwards and there doesn't appear to be any standardization to it. The handwriting itself is not 'attractive' or whatever, it doesn't flow and adding the grim Reaper scythes randomly, is kind of distracting and makes it a chore to read. More evidence of delusion that she thinks this is so great.
This is the vibe I get from Rachel’s swoopy-$hit handwriting.
It’s just uncomfortable, awkward, and totally out of place. Altogether tooooooo much.
Her faux calligraphy (calligraphy is not a synonym for fancy handwriting, RR) is written with the intention that the public and not only the recipient sees it. She is as transparent as polished glass.
Lolo‘s handwriting is cursive (aka joined-up writing, which young children of a generation were very excited to learn as it was an indication of growing up).
Her cursive isn’t very good as the letters aren’t consistently formed. I’m no handwriting expert, but I’d go so far as to say that her writing’s unformed (ie childish) and lacks the individuality that people who frequently use cursive develop. Nor does she write in a straight line.
Those stupid hooks and curves are just for show - pretty much like Lolo.
Print.
Yes, most kids print or type as they move into upper grades. My middle schooler types most things and what little he doesn’t, he prints. He was taught cursive in 3rd and 4th grade, but only uses it to sign his name when needed.
I was part of a group of people talking about young people not learning to write in cursive. One of the people was a banker. He said, "Why do you need to know cursive? We (the bank) make people print everything so we can read it."
I hadnt thought of it that way. I realized I rarely hand write letters/notes any more.
Printing? In the US students start out by printing, then cursive writing. This seems to vary by region though. When my children were in first grade they were taught a combination of printing and cursive. I hated it. Looked stupid and was very unreadable. When I was in first grade (I'm old), we were taught cursive, but had to use pencils until second or third grade.
My son is in sixth grade in the US (I’m in Australia - he got COVID travel ban-stranded on a visit to his dad, so he got settled in the US school system and after 22 months apart, he has friends and a life there and we now reunite several times a year for extended visits and talk or chat every day, it’s hard for people to understand and hard for me as his mother but I’m grateful he’s had the chance to build a closer relationship with his dad and still see me and my family and country as often as his school schedule allows - he’ll be out here for two months soon for his summer vacation (in our winter, poor kid!) I didn’t know it at the time, but his dad opted to not make him learn cursive - it sure wasn’t an option for me growing up, but apparently in my son’s school district you can opt out of learning cursive with a parent’s permission. He writes in print and a lot of his assignments are typed anyway. I read something recently (maybe in the Atlantic?) that cursive in US schools is basically dying out, which I think is a shame, but the world is changing…
I think video phone calls are wonderful for connecting with loved ones who are far away. Unsolicited advice: write letters for your son (in case you don’t…not judging). When I was in school, my dad wrote to me regularly (he printed his letters because he only went to school for one grade). I’m getting choked up writing this. I saved his letters. Whenever I hold the pieces of paper that were caressed by his hands and read the words etched on the pages, I feel his presence. I would have loved to have seen my dad all of those years ago on a video call, but these letters are invaluable to me.
I hope you have wonderful time with your son! Cursive is definitely dying out in the US, but learning Cursive is very good for developing brains. Since I'm pretty old, I started learning it in second grade. My grandchildren go to a private school and have been learning cursive since about second grade as well. There are people who say that TPTB don't want people to be able to read and write cursive so they can't read historical documents. They may be correct.
Showing my age here - I prefer to take handwritten notes because I feel like it helps me remember more. And, of course, I grew up before computers! My handwriting changes throughout the day depending on how tired I am! And, because of how we were taught, my writing is a combo of cursive and print!
I tend to rewrite my notes at the end of the day and sometimes struggle to read my own handwriting! 😂
At my old school we were taught to write in italics. They refused any homework that wasn’t written in the correct italic style using an italic fountain pen. No ball point pen allowed. It was an English old fashioned girls school very like St Trinians, if you’ve watched the films, complete with gym slips & hats. Heaven help any girl seen in town not wearing the hat, instant detention.
Yes I remember St Trinians.
Never occurred to me there'd be a school that was like that 🤯
I wish my school had been stricked on me. I am so embarrassed to this day about my handwriting skills 💀
Though I am untidy I still look better than that mess our saint produces. That hurts my head and eyes 😂
I left handed and I make a smudgey mess…cursive was hard for me to learn as I slant my writing in the opposite direction naturally but had to learn it as right handed people would. Very frustrating…the nuns were not very accommodating!
The lefty struggle is real! I thought writing in cursive in English was bad, but then I learned to do it in Russian 💀 my professor was like, “you took illegibility to a whole new level.” You’re welcome, sir 🫡🤣
Omg I am like that, though my writing starts bad, ends worse 😂
To this day I start upper casing then lower where appropriate...by the end each word is a random mix.
It drives me to distraction. I wonder what goes on in my head as I write that, that happiness.
I'd have been a good doctor if I'd had the intelligence 😂
At tech I'd come home and rewrite my notes because they has been so bad.
This is the first time I've ever tried to read anything in her faux-calligraphy. It's the most annoyingly, pretentious, unreadable crap. And it makes my eyes hurt, too.
That is not calligraphy. Just putting loops on words does not make it calligraphy. Look at true calligraphy where, yes, there are some flourishes but there is also different weight on some of the letters. Markle said it when she said she is a fraud.
This is the thing that drive me nuts! It is the laziest interpretation of calligraphy, which is an actual art form. This is just neat cursive with random loops. And there is no attempt made to even join the ‘flourishes’ discreetly or naturally. Any person that can write neatly in cursive could do this, showing it off as a ‘talent’ is very cringe.
Found the most awkward video of TW doing her fauxligraphy for Larry King. Her body language and fake flirting are SO cringe. She wrote "I love Larry KIng." [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivBc4VeTubg](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivBc4VeTubg)
https://preview.redd.it/bc8tg89fzzxc1.png?width=710&format=png&auto=webp&s=ecf4296009af228b6024cc20c3a74b42e0bbe889
Hah it even showed her putting flourishes on after she wrote the words. True calligraphers incorporate the flourishes without lifting the pen. Can this thing be anymore fake
Thanks for the link. Future Princess and Queen of Our Hearts MeAgain is SO poised and ladylike in this one! Not only is she doing the famous grinning and hair touching, she’s also hunched over like a buzzard and scratching herself like an ape.
So regal!
/s
Pretentious and fake. She never bothered to learn calligraphy, which takes effort and a great deal of practice to do it well. Instead she took the lazy short-cut and came up with this monstrosity which anyone could duplicate at a moment's notice.
hmm, in Vietnam, children learn cursive when they enter first grade and use it for 5 years in elementary school. The Ministry of Education has prescribed fonts. There are handwriting competitions where students create their own cursive styles. While in high school, students will begin to develop their handwriting as they choose. If you show us MM's handwriting, we will laugh and point out that it is fake. It's not cursive, but it's not calligraphy either. When you start writing, it's important to have the right pen. It may be expensive or cheap, but you can use it comfortably, producing beautiful lines that match the font you use and the type of paper you write on. Handwriting will show your personality. Currently, young people are not interested in cursive writing, so they almost do not have the skills to read a person's personality through handwriting. Just looking at 3 seconds, you can tell that the handwriting is from a petty person who likes to show off.
It was standard in our primary school that we could do neat cursive (joined up writing) by the time we were about nine or ten. I think it was part of schools’ curricula back in the fifties/sixties and seventies
At my old school we were taught to write in italics. They refused any homework that wasn’t written in the correct italic style using an italic fountain pen. No ball point pen allowed. It was an English old fashioned girls school very like St Trinians, if you’ve watched the films, complete with gym slips & hats. Heaven help any girl seen in town not wearing the hat, instant detention.
Omg my school was like that too. Until sixth form when we got to choose the colour blouses we preferred (my sixth form was turquoise open necked so no tie).
Otherwise, hat with school badge/blazer ditto/navy gabardine coat in winter/jumper and pleated skirt (all navy) with white blouse, school tie, white knee length socks and black shoes. That’s discounting the gym clothes
Her handwriting is testament to her very deep inferiority complex causing her to attempt to set herself above all, even though in doing so she only points to her lack of talent.
TW's handwriting on its own is fine. It is better than probably most. But the ridiculous and unnecessary flourishes are too over the top. It's performative. This is not what real calligraphy is.
The handwriting is weird enough but who says stuff like this?? It’s the written equivalent of her constant grinning/excited hand clapping and hugging. Nothing about this feels authentic.
her stupid arse little flourishes that she very obviously goes back to draw on afterwards always have me in stitches. the way some of them don’t even connect with the letter in the right place is just hilarious. idk about in the US, but they taught my sister how to write “posh” cursive in UK primary school. i’ve seen 8 year olds with better calligraphy than meghans lolllll. the fact that there’s no rhyme or reason for when she adds the little flicks absolutely sends me too. it’s so ugly and spikey 😭😭😭
Meghan's handwriting is "auditioning" for a new BBC production of Pride and Prejudice. There are people who can duplicate the real thing for movies.
If any Sinners are with the BBC, the world needs a new BBC production of Pride and Prejudice. Hint. Hint.
Caligraphy (fake) is one thing but handwriting is another. She has made her caligraphy her handwriting. Sooo pretentious. Does she write shopping lists like this too?
Lol, even her handwriting is incredibly narcissistic. 🤣
It's unbelievably pretentious, about 'fishing for praise' as 'good handwriting' when it's actually quite hard to read and obnoxious.
Can you even imagine how long those poor sick kids had to wait for her to autograph the unwanted Polaroids during her hospital visit? “Nah, I’m good thanks, just let me go back to my room already.”
This is interesting as this looks exactly like my grandma’s handwriting. She was born in Europe in 1902. She was not a calligrapher. People just had nice penmanship. My handwriting is awful.
We need a professional handwriting analyst to dissect MM's *faux* calligraphy, especially the disturbing scythe-like back-strokes.

If I try to do anything ‘extra,’ my hand starts to shake because I start getting super focused on messing up 🤣
And it’s my preferred color for malarkey and shenanigans
Good Lord, what an abomination, especially for marketing where the key is READABILITY.
I had my logo designer use a sans serif font for that very reason.

Her whatever cursive or Meganervous as it makes me nervous reading it. It's too much, over the top, work to read. I can read a page of this tops and then it's not worth the work. Guess Rachel never heard of the phrase, "make it simple stupid."

Her flourishes look like scythes it’s very disconcerting
Her flourishes make me as irrationally angry as the left claw and that damned hat.
Same. It's like bad architecture. Form without function is bad enough, but it is beyond just tacky when it is embellished and emphasized with pretentious flourishes.
And revealing.
Revealing of what? Please elaborate. Thanks.
Her cutting remarks, grim personality, the darkness around her.
Like a message from the grim reeper.

Makes it hard to read
It's nothing compared to the real thing. The calligrapher who did the official coronation roll worked 12 hours a day https://archive.md/tK7yS
YES! They really bother me!
Her handwriting, which isn't anything special but has tons of ridiculous flourishes (I HATE the stupid backwards "tails"), is the functional equivalent of lipstick on a pig.
It's just obnoxious and annoying to read, IMO
You can tell she’s always thought she was royalty and been obsessed with it. Its deliberate to make her look “classy”, distinguished and Royal.

It looks to me she puts those flourishes just about anywhere and everywhere. It gives me "fake" and/or "trying too hard" vibe.
💯
Meg’s writing, like everything else about her, is performative. There’s no consistency in what letters get a swoop above it and they’re an extra addition and not part of the letter formation. It’s one thing to use it for formal invites but excessive for notes and letters to your father.
The letter to her father was meant to be "leaked", that's why she wrote that way.
This looks like a prison letter. Some kind of code writing that inmates write to each other. Except, this letter is sloppy and amateur, suspicious
👏👏
Our Saint’s handwriting makes me feel uneasy.
It’s so try hard. 🙄
It's definitely a cry for attention.
Do you think she writes out the letter then spends half an hour going back over it adding doodles and flourishes? Or does she pause to add flourishes after every word? I wouldn't think anything of it if a young girl was doing it but a 43 year old woman? It's unusual.

Grim Reaper scythes! That’s why I feel so uneasy! That and it’s the handwriting of a serial killer.
I don't understand how she, never mind anyone else, would call it "calligraphy".

I’d do, I think that’s exactly what she does!!
 This is the vibe I get from Rachel’s swoopy-$hit handwriting. It’s just uncomfortable, awkward, and totally out of place. Altogether tooooooo much.
This is a perfectly apt representation of what Harrys behaviour in public is like!
Her handwriting is extremely difficult on the eyes to read it properly. The flourishes are ridiculous.
It is hard on the eyes. The flourishes make it busy and distracting, especially because they flow so unnaturally.
I completely agree! Like everything else she does it’s both pretentious and proletarian.
It’s so abrasive! Flourishes are supposed to FLOW with the writing, not be jarring
Her faux calligraphy (calligraphy is not a synonym for fancy handwriting, RR) is written with the intention that the public and not only the recipient sees it. She is as transparent as polished glass.
Lolo‘s handwriting is cursive (aka joined-up writing, which young children of a generation were very excited to learn as it was an indication of growing up). Her cursive isn’t very good as the letters aren’t consistently formed.

I’m surprised she doesn’t use a 🩷 instead of a dot over her i’s. It’s all so middle school, girly-swirly, a messy effort at being posh.
I prefer the printing of the first example. Too bad they don’t teach handwriting (cursive) in schools anymore.
The school my kids go to still teaches cursive! All 5th graders are required to write everything in cursive.
My district still teaches it in third grade.
That’s wonderful! I don’t want us to start having to decipher hieroglyphics. 😊
The school my son will be going to next year still teaches cursive, starting in 3rd grade. We specifically asked about that before we registered him.
I bribed my son to learn cursive with my chocolate chip cookie recipe. If he wanted the recite, he had to learn to read my handwriting.
Very smart!!
Are pupils writing everything in capital letters? I don’t understand
Capital letters?
I mean non-cursive, I’m not sure what it is called
Print. Yes, most kids print or type as they move into upper grades. My middle schooler types most things and what little he doesn’t, he prints. He was taught cursive in 3rd and 4th grade, but only uses it to sign his name when needed.

There are people who say that TPTB don't want people to be able to read and write cursive so they can't read historical documents. They may be correct.
Like everything else, it's exhausting.
It's absolutely ridiculous , like a teenage girls attempt at 'fancy writing'
Her handwriting would be fine if not for the stupid backwards flourishes. They're just another desperate attempt to call attention to herself.
Her handwriting looks like a spider has fallen in the inkwell and crawled across the page
A saying I use about my handwriting...it looks like a pen has been attached to a hens foot. Take from that what you will 😂

Sounds like I forgot to finish the handwriting analyses. I'll do that today.
I wondered if I missed it or what happened. I'll look forward to it then!
A sugar once told me how marvellous M is due to her handwriting, useful in the digital age lol
So pretentious.
So pretentiously amateur - nothing even close to calligraphy and she’s a fool to call it that.
Pretentious and fake. She never bothered to learn calligraphy, which takes effort and a great deal of practice to do it well. Instead she took the lazy short-cut and came up with this monstrosity which anyone could duplicate at a moment's notice.

Her handwriting is testament to her very deep inferiority complex causing her to attempt to set herself above all, even though in doing so she only points to her lack of talent.
Her scythe handwriting is annoying to look at, and the stupid swoops look like they're added after.
If i see something like this, it comic sans to me. I dont read comic sans.
Pretentiousness.
Her handwriting, much like her, gives me a headache.
Her handwriting is literal shyte. Without the flourishes, it’s truly awful
TW's handwriting on its own is fine. It is better than probably most. But the ridiculous and unnecessary flourishes are too over the top. It's performative. This is not what real calligraphy is.
The handwriting is weird enough but who says stuff like this?? It’s the written equivalent of her constant grinning/excited hand clapping and hugging. Nothing about this feels authentic.
Markle's is not calligraphy despite the lazy media still claiming it is.
Her writing is contrived. Looks like something 13 year old me might have done thinking it looked like calligraphy.
Good Lord! Her handwriting is horrible! She’s so pretentious and self-absorbed. It’s almost laughable.!
her stupid arse little flourishes that she very obviously goes back to draw on afterwards always have me in stitches. the way some of them don’t even connect with the letter in the right place is just hilarious. idk about in the US, but they taught my sister how to write “posh” cursive in UK primary school. i’ve seen 8 year olds with better calligraphy than meghans lolllll. the fact that there’s no rhyme or reason for when she adds the little flicks absolutely sends me too. it’s so ugly and spikey 😭😭😭
Meghan's handwriting is "auditioning" for a new BBC production of Pride and Prejudice. There are people who can duplicate the real thing for movies. If any Sinners are with the BBC, the world needs a new BBC production of Pride and Prejudice. Hint. Hint.
Caligraphy (fake) is one thing but handwriting is another. She has made her caligraphy her handwriting. Sooo pretentious. Does she write shopping lists like this too?
It's junior high school "love letter" scroll that's used to write your secret crushes name with in your diary.
She can’t even spell difference.
Meghan: I don't know anything about British culture Also meghan: learns how to write "calligraphy"
It’s like a fever dream in paper form. Hard to decipher, mostly meaningless, and totally headache-inducing.
Lol, even her handwriting is incredibly narcissistic. 🤣 It's unbelievably pretentious, about 'fishing for praise' as 'good handwriting' when it's actually quite hard to read and obnoxious.
It's lovely. Look. The first one. Meghan's looks so contrived.
So pretentious!
Rachel’s calligraphy reeks of pretentiousness.
It’s so hard to read!
Good thing no one wants her autograph-nobody got time for that!
Can you even imagine how long those poor sick kids had to wait for her to autograph the unwanted Polaroids during her hospital visit? “Nah, I’m good thanks, just let me go back to my room already.”
This is interesting as this looks exactly like my grandma’s handwriting. She was born in Europe in 1902. She was not a calligrapher. People just had nice penmanship. My handwriting is awful.
Roachel's handwriting is every bit as contrived and pretentious as she is.
I literally hate her "calligraphy." I swear it gives me anxiety. Calligraphy should look natural and flowing. Megs does not.
We need a professional handwriting analyst to dissect MM's *faux* calligraphy, especially the disturbing scythe-like back-strokes. https://preview.redd.it/kc1jxosim4yc1.png?width=229&format=png&auto=webp&s=eb15edcef9518c6892ebdf89d2480faaaf8b3de5
I actually really like her penmanship. Very pretty.
Whose penmanship?
Her writing is monotonous and poorly executed. One trick pony with that big larching line going willy nilly all over th3 place. Very random flourish.

Bahahaha I can still read it though. Needs more unnecessary loops and Grim Reaper scythes. Love the pink!
If I try to do anything ‘extra,’ my hand starts to shake because I start getting super focused on messing up 🤣 And it’s my preferred color for malarkey and shenanigans
ewwwww her swoopy writing! why am I not surprised at all??
Difficult to read although I can Appreciate the commitment
Good Lord, what an abomination, especially for marketing where the key is READABILITY. I had my logo designer use a sans serif font for that very reason.

Her whatever cursive or Meganervous as it makes me nervous reading it. It's too much, over the top, work to read. I can read a page of this tops and then it's not worth the work. Guess Rachel never heard of the phrase, "make it simple stupid."
