Will no one rid us of these tiresome royals? I know you are thinking about the debate tonight and wondering what Orange Man Bad scandal will the failing New York Times dream up for Thursday. You are wondering why on Earth is Toni writing about the Sussexes when so much is on the line? It’s simple. While it may be laughable, Meghan Markle has political aspirations here in the United States. Go ahead and laugh, but it’s true. Harry has become nothing but an uncomfortable looking prop for Markle.
Remember when Harry and Meghan declared that they wanted a life of peace without media scrutiny and that’s why they dumped the Royal Life for Canada and then California. The Royal Family retainers carefully negotiated the Megxit and laid out rules for the two. Like Meghan has respected rules at all.
Anyone who thought this marriage was gonna work raise your hand. Okay, Portland, you don’t count. The minute Harry put a ring on her hand, Meghan snapped one through Harry’s nose. She started kvetching about the rules immediately. They married on May 19, 2018 and by January, 2020, Meghan had broken the rules 67 times. Unless they are performing royal duties, the Royal Family likes to fly under the radar, so as to not embarrass the Queen. Not Meghan. Once she became pregnant, Markle was nicknamed “Baby Bump Barbie” because of her constant posing while cradling her baby bump. She needs constant attention.
Page Six is claiming that Meghan and Harry doing a get out the vote video allegedly violates the rules of the deal for Megxit:
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex irked the other royals when they called on American voters last week to “reject hate speech, misinformation and online negativity” in “the most important election of our lifetime,” the Sunday Times reported.
Royals are supposed to remain politically neutral and the pair had pledged when they resigned from the family that “everything they do will uphold the values of Her Majesty,” the outlet reported.
Here is the ad:
Crybaby Harry can’t vote in the United States and didn’t have a vote in Merry Old England. Whaaaaa! That’s because you are a member of the Royal Family, duh.
But, Meghan’s aspirations go higher that urging Americans to vote. Naw, girlfriend has aspirations to be President of the United States. Pick up your jaw off the floor. Again, from Page Six:
After the Duchess of Sussex and husband Prince Harry dumped royal duties with their historic Megxit this year, the 39-year-old former “Suits” star now has her eye on the White House, a close friend told Vanity Fair.
“One of the reasons she was so keen not to give up her American citizenship was so she had the option to go into politics,” the unidentified friend told the mag.
“I think if Meghan and Harry ever gave up their titles she would seriously consider running for president,” the friend added of rumors of a 2024 run.
Meghan even did an interview with that aging, irrelevant harridan, Gloria Steinem. Here is a snippet from Vogue:
Their full conversation is still to come, but in the preview clip, the two women discuss the importance of voting as a deeply divided US hurtles towards a presidential election in November. “People forget how hard women like you and so many others before you fought for us to just be where we are right now,” the Duchess tells Steinem, whose efforts to get the Equal Rights Amendment ratified in the US recently became the subject of the Emmy-nominated TV show, Mrs America. “If you don’t vote, you don’t exist,” Steinem replies. “It’s the only place where we’re all equal, the voting booth.”
First of all, the ick factor of the tongue baths is high here. And, the voting booth is not the only place where we are all equal. Women are everywhere doing everything, but Gloria is still stuck in her glory days.
Queen Elizabeth, dear, please come and get Harry. Take your grandson home to England. Put him back in uniform which seems to be where he was happiest. You can leave Meghan. Once she doesn’t have the cachet of the Royal Family, she will go back to be a C actress and yacht girl.

NTSOG says: “… yacht girl.”?
I didn’t know she had actually reached the standard of a ‘C actress’, but what is a yacht girl?
Toni Williams says: NT-
a yacht girl is one of those beautiful women that you see in bikinis on yachts or dancing in a designer cocktail dress in a high end bar. You know what I am try to say?

Mary says: I thought they lost the royal titles once they abdicated. Yea, I also wish they would go away.
GWB says: They lost the royal titles, but the Sussex thing is one of their regular, inherited titles.
Of course, imo, regardless of her retaining her US citizenship, she lost her eligibility to run for any elected federal office as soon as she took a title of nobility in violation of the Constitution..
Well, no. “No Title of Nobility shall be granted by the United States: And no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.”
She did not hold any office when she accepted the Sussex title. A textualist (as ACB is reputed to be) could go different ways with the wording: a) she did not ACCEPT the title while in an office, or b) HAVING the title prohibits her taking an office. (The latter is the intent of the clause, of course.)
And… Hmm… Maybe someone here who has researched current British law can answer this one: Can she even abdicate the title without the permission of the Monarch? In past days, the title was bestowed in exchange for lifetime fealty to the Crown. Attempting to unilaterally surrender it was, on a few occasions, regarded as treason.
Quentin-Q Quill says: Funny, I woke up wondering about what Harry and Meghan were up to today. I was going to check up on them right after checking to see if Q had any information drops today. So Goria Stienem is an “aging, irrelevant harridan?” Yes, she is gettimg older, as all people do. It’s a common putdown to refer to older women as “aging” so you get no writing points for this. Using the word “harridan,” though, does get you a point for vocabuluary. Ding Ding! And double points if you didn’t use a thesaurus. I can’t remember the last time I heard or saw the word “harridan” used. Good grief, women sure can be catty to other women.
Toni Williams says: Quentin –
The words hag and harridan popped into my brain. I thought harridan fit her better. Whenever my sister or I would act catty, my late father would say, “Get that girl a saucer of milk”. Good memories.

Quentin-Q Quill says: Double points for using it spontaneously! You deserve a big saucer of milk!
